Hey all,
I am having what I think is an electrical issue. My problem is this. In the first running key position, which I believe is position three with the headlight off, the bike runs fine. In the furthest key position for the bike to run, which I believe is position four with the headlight on, the bike will backfire most of the time and will not start or will not start easy. If I switch from position three to four while running the bike will eventually back fire and then stall out and eventually kills the battery entirely.
I have replaced the plugs, wires, coils, and ignition switch and has a new battery. It also has a Boyer electronic ignition.
Could a voltage regulator be going bad?
What does the zener diode do underneath the seat and behind that battery? Could that be going bad?
I appreciate any feedback as I am still new to these bikes!
Thanks
