Love for you to share your solutions for the LCs marginal charging issues that have been plaguing owners for decades.
Happy to hear your workaround for this....

Re: grinding gears
I have talked to a lot of 1500 owners and not one of them has complained about the charging system. Has anyone else heard of this issue?Designer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 7:20 amInteresting how you sidestep what I posted,.....information that you even asked me for;

I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Re: grinding gears
I have no idea who you talked to - this is a pretty COMMON issue.

Re: grinding gears
I performed this "mod" on my 1400's.
But the best thing was the larger stator.

Re: grinding gears
I "recognize" that the Larger Stator I installed is THE BEST fix for the need for more charging on both the 1400's and 1500's

Re: grinding gears
It's not just the stator on the 1500. It's the wiring set-up as well as the inherent low charging at low rpm which is endemic with the permanent magnet stator system.
I mean - it's great you "fixed" your 1400, but it's not a 1500. The charging problems with the 1500 are pretty much specific to that bike.

Re: grinding gears
The 1500 wiring "fix" is a working idea.....
However, installing a Higher Output Stator does what that does,...and more.

Re: grinding gears
the Bigger Stator also fixes the 1500 charging issue...or,...didn't you bother to read that?

Re: grinding gears
You know the stators are different, right??
Out of curiosity - what RR do you have?

Re: grinding gears
I sure do. Just because you aren't getting what you want the moment you want it ,..does not mean I don't.
I'm waiting for Border Rat to respond to this;

......after all He is the one who actually OWNS a 1500 and is working on it . You sold yours,...right?
