ok, so my new rectifier came in. i toss it in, toss the new battery in, jump the bike w/ the civic's battery, and it's running, but the headlight and dash lights are all cycling w/ the motor kinda of like flicker bright/flicker dark.
i decide to take it for a ride...
the speedo doesn't work. sometimes... when i give the bike a little throttle around 3-4k rpms (just to cruise), the speedo is on. when i tap the brake, the speedo comes on. when i use the turn signals the speedo comes on with the blinks.
the bike hesitates when giving it heavy gas. kind of like a misfire... and the headlight dims. solution? tap the brake, the headlight brightens and the bike runs fine.
annnnd the battery isn't charging. ideas?
i put the multimeter on the battery as i gave the bike gas and the voltage drops. is that correct?
i don't know shit about eletronics, but it seems the opposites are happening all over the place. tap the brake (use more juice) and the headlight brightens? don't give the bike heavy throttle and the speedo works?
