08 xb12xt, 35,000 miles.
I just bought the bike 5-6 months ago. When i bought it i had a charging issue that turned out to be the battery. Charged the battery over the weekend and it ran fine for months. One thing i noticed the whole time was that the CEL comes on between 3k-4k rpm but goes off if the rpms either drop below or raise above that. Also from time to time i would get a CEL and notice my speedo was at zero while cruising down the road, if i reach forward turn the key off and back on the speedo would come right back on again.
So 6 months later i get another cel that comes on shortly after i take off down the road and then stays on until i cut the bike off and start it back up a few minutes later. Before you know it cluster shuts down, bike shuts down....dead battery.
I have the battery checked and it comes back for a dead cell, buy brand new battery start the bike up and after half a block the cel comes on and stays on so i go back and park it. I CANNOT GET THE CEL ON WHEN THE BIKE IS JUST SITTING TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT TYPE OF CODE ITS THROWING.
Checked the ground and it seems ok, also took a voltage meter to stator and regulator, both also reading as they should from what i pulled up on google. Also noticed im popping low beam headlight bulbs every few days.
please help, this is my one and only vehicle....yeah, i`m that guy.
