05 FLHTPI.....Driving home tonight, watching the volt gauge go up and down...lights dim, bike hesitates, radio cuts in and out.....then fine, then not

Any Ideas?......Battery is less than a month old

 

Voltage regulator or stator. Start with the regulator.

 

i am having the same problem also, just started to f@#$ up today. cant for the life of me find the problem,stator reads good?????

 

Check your grounds.

 

check all connections! I had a loose battery terminal that welded itself into the loosened position--now when I check, I loosen first, then tighten

 

this is crazy i have the whole bike apart and cant find sh!& wrong with it. any more idea's it shows that the stator is good and working, but the gage on the dash shows it not working? i put it on a battery charger with an alt ck and it said the alt is bad? any idea's are very helpful, i need to ride..... its my transportation and lifestyle help!

 

I check and rechecked all my grounds. I picked up a Regulator, keeping my fingers srossed that this afternoon's ride is uneventful

 

I am having problems with my 08 street glide also, i have all my lights, checked fuses, battery is showing 12.5v the engine light came on and now it wont start?

 

Well I Got As Far As 2 Miles, And It Started Back Up With The Same Problems.........ugh

 

Since you mention you recently changed your battery, check both battery terminals. I know, you installed it right - but you might just be surprised. I changed an alternator on a Suburban once in the middle of nowhere Alaska only to find out when the job was done that by ground terminal wasn't as tight as it should be. It's easy to think everything's tightened down and for it to look right but slightly loose is a problem.
