Default Charging System Help

Last week I rode about 160 miles. Parked my bike. Got on again two hours later everything fine. Rode 5 miles stopped and ate. Bike fired right up moved about 100 yards it died. Would not turnover at all only click. Was able to roll it off and get home. By the time I got home no lights at all. Had he battery checked it was no good. Replace the battery with a brand new one yesterday. Went riding today no problem until I started home. Rode about 120 miles. When I started home and it would not turnover again. Had to roll it off again. Got nearly home no lights no speedo nothing. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I need help real bad. Thanks.

Default RE: Charging System Help

Could be a bad stator or voltage regulator....

Open up the inspection cover for the primary chain... If is smells terrible (Like burnt death) then it's your stator...
