hrmad Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi guys, Pleased to say at my last trial I scored 8, best result so far, the first trial I completed I scored 93, so it's a good feeling to make progress after close to a year of riding. What was not so great was the bike getting really hot, coolant coming out of the cap and tubes, and the fan not kicking in last Saturday. We took the bike apart yesterday. It's not the thermostat as we connected the two leads that join onto it and the fan did not work. It's not the wiring above the radiator or the two black boxes above the radiator as we connected a battery to the system and the voltage was correct for these areas. What was not good was the reading for the coil that is behind the flywheel, below 1 volt. Is this a common problem with betas? Will I need to replace this coil? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The stator is an issue, but normally for spark. By the way the voltage should be AC checked while running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the voltage regulator then, i'd be happier if it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesolidman1 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 If the bike still has the headlight on, try unplugging it. I just resolved an electrical glitch on my '15 Evo. Fan wouldn't come on, headlight wouldn't work. Started checking things and found the wires to the headlight very hot. I unplugged the headlight and the fan started working normally. Apparently there was an intermittant short in the headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't got the head light on the bike, it would be nice if the problem were that simple though, thanks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
