high output charging system (2011 CVO 110)
any idea weather it's worth $500 to upgrade to a high performance charging system. Looks like you can go from ~38 amps to ~54amps.
my bike has all the options, heated seats, grips, lights, radio, etc.
I think i just lost my stator. (replaced the voltage regulator and still get DTC0562, low battery voltage)
just wondering if I should buy all new high output charging

I would think you already have the higher output charging system? I thought all the touring bikes had it after 2008? Especially with all those options I'm sure a c v o model would come with it already? Maybe your battery is bad?

Go to the Tech Electrical section, where you will find a couple of Stickies on checking your charging system. That will identify if you have a problem and what it is. Do that first! As CBB suggests you probably have a high capacity system already, in any event your owners manual tells you what your charging system is.

Yeah, diagnosis is key.
as has been demonstrated here before, it is possible for an owner to replace $1000 in parts to no effect if the diagnosis is wrong.
My neighbor spent $1300 replacing parts - in the end it was found to be a bad $12 battery cable

he spent the $1300 at the dealer over multiple visits- then came to me, 'cause he knows i have bikes.
I found the bad cable which was destroying stators and VR's.
$12 for a cable at autozone.

Yup, it's what I call the 'inverse law'. The smaller something is the bigger the impact it can have. That cable looks guilty as charged!
