My bike is acting up.
Heat is clearly an issue, but I'll just list the symptoms. Maybe you all can help.
Bike is just back on the road from replacing the stator.
Battery appears to be fried. It won't charge while the bike is running and there is no juice to the lights etc unless running.
But here's the real issue:
In the morning, the bike seems to be idling low. - 1000 rpm
In the afternoon - in the extreme heat - the bike wants to alternately idle @ 3,000 RPM or quit entirely.
The engine feels starved for gas at higher revs (highway riding).
None of this ever happened before replacing the stator, but it may be coincidence. My first thought on the freeway yesterday was that I had screwed up the timing, but I got 80 miles on it before this started.
So... any ideas?
