(617) 515-4494

[Doc]

What is wrong with the bike? Do you need trouble shooting help or physical help?

[Stoneman]

Awww fuck. Been there. Well, not THERE. Same situation though. Wish I could do more than post a worthless reply...

Good luck! Hopefully someone'll jump to the rescue soon enough!

[jbmass]

It's an electrical issue, brand new bettery is sucked out of juice, I think the charging system isn't working

[jbmass]

Anyone have a truck or trailer in the area?

[The Snowman]

I sent Justin a text. I'm about an hour out, unless someone else available is closer.

Quick check...

Are your Batery connections tight?

[jbmass]

Yep connections are tight

[The Snowman]

Heading out now.

[ThisBitch]

Ok, I know no one ever thought this would happen...
















Way to step up Chuck.

I take it you already tried jumping it?

[The Snowman]

I have my moments. He got the bike started, but I'm still heading out, just in case.

[LuvDog]

sound pretty darn familiar.

[jbmass]

I made it a mile before it quite out again, weird. Oil's fine, fluids are fine, when it starts to sputter and die the signals and lights arent working. Battery isnt be recharged I think. Atleast I made it to another breakdown area.

[keet2]

i had a similar sounding problem with my 98 vfr..was a rectifier/regulator issue.....good luck with your diagnosis.....

[Ryno]

916/748 bad connection between the stator and regulator pretty common.
Get the fairings off and and follow the wires out of the stator and look for a bad connection short etc.

[03Worc9R]

Will give you $1000. for it as is.



jk, hope you get things worked out.

[ThisBitch]

Maybe the band of gypsies in your engine decided that instead of making a dry clutch sound, they were going to get drunk and pass out.

[drop]

i'm in kendall square with a pickup but i don't have ramps with me...

[LuvDog]

It's a very common problem with the 916. It happened to me on a group ride a while back.

Check your R/R. Mine happened to be ok, but it's often the problem.

The other main area to check is the wiring from the stator. Its prone to breakdown from heat. Switch to a higher gauge and possibly replace the connector if it looks melted.

[jbmass]

Saved, Chuck rescued me and the bike, and the gypsy gremlins.

[DuncanMoto]

Nice Chuck!
Next time you can certainly save the ride and call me since you were only about 1 mile away from our shop.

[FriskyDingo]

Heading out now.

very cool

[jbmass]

Bike's home, three cheers for Chuck! What a horrible place to break down!
