edbooo Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 my question is would the voltage regulator not attached securely to the frame cause a grounding issue? i have an earlier post about getting zapped while in high rpm's but now im trying to fix this. i bought a multimeter to figure out how much ac voltage the frame is producing and when i rev the bike the multimeter reads .100 and above. i secured the voltage regulator and the multimeter does not pass .007, any help would be great.

edbooo Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 where are you getting shocked at?Did you check to see if the coil wires are rubbed through any where?Let us know.. im getting shocked by my front hand brake as i got up sand hills at full throttle. this started happening after i had the bike wired back to ac after too many dc issues. i took it back once to the builder but he claimed my fancy handlebars needed more grounding... obviously that wasnt it. after further inspection i found my dyna ignition replaced with a stock one(sigh).

Snopczynski Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 The voltage regulator grounds through its hosuing. So it has to be bolted to the frame and have the ground wire bolted to one of the mount bolts for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
