Battery & Check Engine Light
Hello. I have a 2013 Road King.
I've read alot of posts regarding the charging system.
Here's the problem I;m seeing:
Check Engine light and battery light randomly go on and off while riding.
Sometimes the bike won't start (rapid clicking).
Diagnosis Codes Displayed:
P0562
P0563
P1511
P2101
Pn 32999-11
Monitored Battery Results:
Pulled battery out of bike;
11.43v yesterday at 6:00pm.
Charged overnight.
13.71v at 5:35 Wednesday morning.
12.86v at 7:00am Wednesday morning.
12.80v at 4:38pm Wednesday
Start: voltage drops to 10.30 & idles at 14.20v
Engine off: 12.77v 6:53am battery in bike overnight (not on charger)
12.71v 3:00pm Thursday: battery in bike (not running)
ALTERNATOR IS GOOD because when the engine is idling the volts are at 14.2?
Continuity between voltage regulator pins behind rectifier.
No continuity between voltage regulator pins and ground.
I'm guessing it's the voltage regulator.
Before I buy one, I would like to hear others' diagnosis.
Thank you,
RUdy

P2101 EFI Motor circuit range performance (actuation error)
When your check engine and battery light come on does the bike still run good? Does the Voltage fluctuate?

When they go bad sometimes, they go intermittent.. so you'll lose the 14.2V (which is correct when bike is running) and you're then on battery voltage, no charge. If the battery light is going on and off it is either a bad connection or a bad intermittent voltage regulator. Check the connectors from stator to VR and clean.. but if it's not a connection, get a new VR. I would suggest a Cycle Electric all USA made and beefy compared to the HD regulators.

If you go with HD, the chrome one was 50 bucks cheaper than the black one. Ask me how I know. If you should check the voltage at the alternator it will be 3 phase AC.

Thanks for in info 69cj! I'm not a chrome-head, but if it's $50 cheaper, I'm in.

Thanks, Everyone.
I just put in a voltage regulator from CycleElectric. Wow! what a difference between their product and the factory Harley regulator. It is SOLD with a well thought out design (aluminium backing). Those boys have got brains! CycleElectric designed their regulator to hang from the frame crossmember so it is not affected by the heat emanating from the oil cooler. Had a chance to go for a 15 mile ride to get gas and open her up on the highway: no battery or check engine light yet and she started right up at the gas station!
Thank you, fellas for all your help, guidance, and advice! Should our paths ever cross, I'd be happy to by you a beer!
