Sluggish Rev
I have to use jumper cables to pop it off...It does need a new battery,but the bike starts right up...idels fine but when I hit it from like 5-8 grand it's really sluggish,after that it revs great.I guess my question is could it be all battery?By the way there is No rattling or noise at all just like almost wants to stop revving then continues like nothing happend past 8,000 or so.
Thanks Mike

RE: Sluggish Rev
cranks fine = battery good
electrical problems while running = better take a look at the stator. if it was just the engine acting goofy I'd say it was ignition, still could be but with the other components acting up it's probably a stator issue.
remember, when a car or bike or whatever is running the battery is simply getting charged by an alternate source....ie alternator/stator. a car/bike recieves all of its electricity from this device. you can start a car and take the battery completely out while it's running and it won't do anything.

Aweasel
I finally got her to rev just fine!
I did notice that the guages are still doin the same thing looks like a dimming blink.
Thanks for your reply and I do happen to have another engine....do you think it's worth pulling the stator and changing or what would be an easy way of checking my volts?
Much Thanks Mike

RE: Sluggish Rev
Well I let it sit there and warm up for a couple of minutes....untill the temp was right in the middel of the guauge then I hit it a few time and it never kicked on so I killed it.I didn't want to overheat it sitting there and blow a head gasket or something even worse.
What kind of voltage should I be reading if my rectifier or my stator isn't bad?
Much Thanks Mike
