Check engine and Battery light. Codes P0131, P0151 and P0562
Crud. I got the Check Engine and Battery Light. The Codes are the P0 131, 151 and 562.
If i'm correct they are the front and rear O2 sensor and a low voltage. I changed the battery and cleared the codes. I haven't ridden the bike yet.
Will a simple battery change clear up all the issues?
Thanks

More than likely, you've got a low voltage condition because the charging system isn't working. Probably a bad regulator, stator, or both. You'll need to get out a volt meter and figure it out.

Thanks Charley
Just flipping' great. I'm ok at mechanical stuff but suck at electronics. I do have a voltage meter but haven't a clue how to check them. I can check a battery (and some audio equipment), but I wouldn't know how to check the regulator or stator.

The O2 sensor low is probably from the X14ieD. I remember having those before I switched to the Power Vision. As for the other one:
First make sure that both battery terminals are securely connected. Also make sure the ground wire is properly secured to the frame. They jiggle loose all the time.
Then check the voltage at the battery. If that is low at idle check the voltage coming form the voltage regulator. If THAT is still low check the stator...

Unplug stator. Set multi meter to ohms. Check each pin to ground ( one lead to pin, one lead to ground) Both should be open. Check resistance from one pin @ the plug to the other, should be some, but low. Start bike. Set multi meter to AC volts. With one pin from the meter on each of the pins coming from the stator you should get around 50-60 volts when revved up. If you do, your problem is either the regulator, or wiring.
There was a recall on the voltage regulators for some bikes and they've been known to go bad. That would be my first guess. I had a similar problem but it ended up being my stator.

With a known (indicated by the codes) Low Voltage condition, you should never start testing/replacing components until you have verified the voltage across the battery, both with the bike Off and again with it running at a fast idle.
A charged battery (bike off) should measure ~12.7 VDC. (12.0 volts is a dead battery)
Measure again with the bike running at a fast idle (1500-2000 RPM), and you should have between 13.5 - 14.8 VDC. Anything less means a component of the charging system is bad.
