brian_750 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I'm having problems with my banshee, after I relocated my CDI box and voltage regulator under the tank. I got all the work done of moving my components from under the seat to under the tank and they are properly grounded, now when i go riding my headlights will blow the bulbs. When this started happening I pulled another regulator that was working and installed it on my bike and the problem still occurs. Anybody have this problem before? Quote

Anybody have this problem before? sounds like you have a short somewhere. might wanna start checkingthe wires. brake out the ohm meter and and start testing. might have a brake somewere you can't see and its touching something. good luck these types of electrical probles can be a pain. try another voltage regulator. maybe there both faulty. but more then likely its a short somewere Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 make sure the regulator is hooked up and grounded GOOD.. if it is i would replace it Quote
brian_750 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 I forgot to mention that when i put in new bulbs they last about 100 yard until i open it up and then they start to blow. I was just looking at the wiring diagram and it shows the voltage regulator in line between the stator and the light switch. I was looking at my harness and it looks like they put it after the switch. I need to get the meter out tomorrow or take it back to the shop so they can do it right. Quote

2001Stroker Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I'd say either bad voltage regulator, or it has a bad ground. Quote
