In this video we test and replace the Voltage regulator on my 2005 Cvo Harley Davidson. The Battery and Check engine light came on while driving down the highway.

The only video i found showing how to remove the black plastic fender to get to the long wire from VR. Thanks for showing that.

I've done this twice on my own Fatboy, learned that running that primary wire back to the connection was easier by cutting the old one at the regulator & connecting the new one to it to 'fish' it back thru the frame to the actual connection.👍

Hey man, thanks. You described exactly what just happened to me this afternoon. Except I didn’t make it home. Got bike towed to home. Found your video. Followed your lead, (no pun intended) found it was the regulator and now I’m shopping for a new one. Bravo! You just saved me hundreds of $$$ !!! Just one thing. On your stator test, you could have informed us that you are testing each plug against the other all the way around the three way phase connector. That was the only thing I did not hear or see you do or talk about. I guessed that was what you did and I duplicated your meter readings. Thanks for the great video. 👍

This same thing happened to me but i was 400 miles from home up in McCall, Idaho engine lght the battery light came on made it to Boise then it wouldnt start. Bought a new battery it fired up and i started my ride home at dusk about 50 miles later my lights started dimming nad then the bike started backfiring then shut off. Anyway after checking everything come to find it was my Stator replaced and all is well now. Nice video.

YUP ur stator is good, thumbs up. Just went through this on my 91 Sporty1200, that was weird, I really thought my stator was toasted as the connector between it and RR was so hot is was smoking. But knowing how to test the stator was good as it would have been a lot of trouble to get a trailor and get the bike to a dealer, and of course what the would cost.

Check all 3 coming out of the primary cover, to check before the regulator, check at the battery to check after the regulator.

hi nice video, I had the same with my heritage M8 114, the regulator is'nt in the best of ideal places especially if it's raining a lot of spray comes off the front wheel, when mine broke it over charged the battery at 17.2 volts and distroyed that as well ,Hmmm

I had a bad battery, jumped my bike, hopped on and rode off. A few minutes later the radio quit, followed by the gauge pegged out past 16V. Kept riding to find a place to pull over and smoke came out from under the seat. Found the stator shorted, and the artery cooked, seems like the voltage regulator is bad also. Used a meter to test the diodes, reads “OL” across all the terminals, but this method is surefire. Great opportunity to check those grounds as well. I would also not recommend jump starting a bike with a running vehicle.

The first test to get the ac volts reading. Was nt he connected to stator and not the voltage regulator? The stator makes ac . The reg makes dc .it converts it to dc .
