lol damn that sounds like a sh*ty day, but it could have been way worse

 

Sounds like a day you'll remember forever, you should be grateful, LOL
Just kidding, of course.

 

No good deed ever goes unpunished.

 

Man that blows! I had a few days when I was in school where I had to run an errand which shouldn't take more than an hour and it ended up being an ALL day ordeal. Then the all day ordeal cuts into study time for that test the next morning (8 am of course) which is in your worst subject (econ or fin) and you end up going into the test with your guns half loaded. I feel your pain. Hope you were able to get the class work done without the loss of too much sleep. Good luck!

 

What should I see for a voltage on the battery with the car running. Cars it's usually 13.2V. My bike is showing 12.25V at idle and 12.45 when I rev the engine up.

 

If you Hold the throttle at about 5k RPM, you should read 13.5-14.4v on the battery in the bike.

 

lifes a b**** and then you die, thats why you get high, cause you never know when your gonna go lol

 

Ok, that means theres still an issue. It wont go above 12.5V.

 

My 98 was doing the same thing, turned out to be the voltage regulator / rectifier, I went to the local cycle salvage and picked one up for 40 bucks. Not an issue since.
