Hey all,
So I was out riding the other day and noticed the bike had almost a non-existent idle, unless I was giving it a bit of gas it would die. Then when at a light it had died because I wasn't paying attention to giving it gas to keep idling (Which I know should not be the case on a normal basis). Then I went to start the bike back up and it had to sit for a couple minutes before it'd turn over and have enough juice to fire up. This is the second time this has happened. The bike runs great when keeping the RPM's up, super responsive to throttle, etc. The bike started right up after not being run for 4 months and without battery tending. Then after it died, I charged it back to 100% and again it starts right up, which leads me to believe that the charging system is to blame, just don't know where. Additionally, the bike had died on me after I was riding at fast speeds and repetitively high RPM revs, which also points to the charging system I feel like.
That all said, I've got plans to proceed with testing the alt, reg/rec, etc., but first wanted to check and see if anyone had any guidance or had been in this spot before.
Lemme know if anyone has any insight!
-Sam
