New to the CR, just a few questions

[kobrahh]

Thanks for all the input fellas, I'm going to look into all of this today. Just for the record if it helps at all, it started up fine when I left, and shut off while I was driving only.a few feet from my work. It was completely dead for about a minutex but then just kicked back on and displayed a.system voltage message. When i left work, i let it run for a few minutes to monitor the voltage and it was right at 13.9 my entire ride home. However, it again died on my way hone only a few feet from my house.....virtually the same distance and time where it died that morning.

By the way, I didn't mean to offend anyone with my negative attitude, I just didnt expect this within my first week of owning the bike haha. Thanks for the support

Welcome to the 1125. Mine failed about 3 weeks after I bought it, but I had done alot of reading about the 1125 before I bought so it was no surprise to me.

Check your battery connections if you haven't already. You can get a regulator at your local Harley stealership. It will be around $147. I'm still not convinced its your regulator since its staying at 13.8.

Just checked my battery connection, they could have been a little more snug, so I tightened everything up. I forgot to mention that I have a box with the label "stock buell cr1125 emc 2009" that was in my folder with my owners manual and such. Where is this located on the bike so I can check to see whats there now?

Its behind the pod plastic, clutch side I think. theres a manual you can download in the toolbar up at the top on the forum.

Uh, for clarity, make that the clutch LEVER side, the clutch mechanism is on the brake lever side...

IOW, the ECM is inside the pod by your left knee (unless you are a stunter and ride backwards, haha).
