I think you should still disconnect it to see if you can put a new 40 amp fuse in there and see if it blows or not..

 

wish is was easy to do. if i had a lift it wouldn't be a problem. but for a guy like me laying on the ground and horrible grip, it's not so easy. may just have to wait this one out for the restrictions to ease up. but i'll have the mechanic check your suggestions

 

Ok.. good luck..

 

The ABS module may be ruled out. In 2012, ABS was an option so the OP may not even have ABS. He didn't say.

You seem to be replacing parts without diagnosing the problem. Not all voltage regulators in 2012 models were part of the recall. Mine wasn't. Nonetheless, even though you replaced the VR a year ago doesn't mean it can't be bad now.

If your mechanic is worth anything, (s)he probably doesn't need any suggestions. Let them do their own testing and make their own diagnosis. You shouldn't have to "suggest" anything to them.

I hope you get this worked out.

 

Replaced with what? Stock again? I would highly recommend Cycle Electric....

Mine did have the recall, but i didn't know about it because when i bought the bike from a private seller, he didn't turn in his paperwork to the dmv. So i don't get notices for anything about my bike. So i replaced the voltage regulator myself. I didn't use a stock on. I would love to take it to my regular shop, but since he is in maryland and i'm in delaware, crossing the border without papers and good reason will get you a 5,000 dollar fine until the restrictions are lifted. They have state police at the main borders. And i've been going to the same shop for 15 years, i've never had an issue with them. i would like to diagnose the problem, but everything i have tried hasn't worked. Which is why i may just end up waiting. Although on the next sunny day i'm gonna take the time to take the regulator back off, clean it and see if that helps.

 

Finally got my bike into the regular shop i go to. Within 40 minutes of going through everything, it was the voltage regulator. The new one is being ordered and should be finished by Saturday. Thank you all for the much appreciate help.
