1991 evo, S&S hot set up kit 900 miles on rebuild, new stator, new voltage regulator, new starter relay, 2 year old yuasa batery.
Have been having some starting issues with this machine, typicaly wont crank and fire without a jump when cold. Did not want to pursue this issue in deptht this past summer, rather ride than work on it. So wimter is here and time to work on it. I am puting in a rebuit starter, new batery cables ( originals pretty coroded at crimps), all new conecting hardware ( star washers, etc ), new battery.
What is a typical running amp draw for a 1991 FLHTCU?
Thinking about replacing battery with an Odyssey Maintenance-Free Battery ( 925) JP Part Number:350-155
I was on the Odessy web site and found this in there online manual.
"SPECIAL NOTICE! ( http://www.odysseyfactory.com/documents/US-ODY-OM-007_0209.pdf )
• CUSTOM V-TWIN MOTORCYCLE INSTALLATIONS USING ODYSSEY PC535, PC545, PC545MJ, PC680MJ
& PC925LMJ BATTERIES
If your V-Twin motorcycle is equipped with a standard 32 amp single phase stator/alternator, the appropriate
ODYSSEY battery may run out of charge after about 150 miles of riding. To avoid this situation we strongly
recommend the ODYSSEY Ultimizer™ charger model OMAX-6A-1B for existing 32 amp equipped bikes, with the
charger being operated continuously during the non-use of the bike and/or installing a 3-phase 40 amp or higher
stator/alternator, especially in new bikes.
• Prolonged storage of vehicles with fuel injection computers, alarms, GPS and other electrical devices that require
continuous battery power to support active memories; this power drain must be offset with a maintenance-float
charger, periodic charging or disconnecting the battery to prevent the establishment of irreversible crystallized
sulphation in the battery plate oxide. Failure to address this destroys battery capacity and voids the warranty,
as this is not a warranted defect in materials or workmanship."
I would hate to part with $240.00 for a new batery, to learn at a lator date i need a higher amp capacity stator/regulator.
Any one run into this before?
Thanks SK
