What is the proper running voltage on and off ?. btw its a 2002 TLR. Yes ive looked at the other charging threads but im an idiot when it comes to batteries and such, but it would stay at a constant 13.5 running and off and as i reved it up it would drop a bit.
I think the problem is the rectifier, and this is what im lookin at for a replacement someone tell me if im wrong or throw in their 2 cents before i spend 80 bucks please

Look here first and try the plus mod or the charging system mod...I had the same issues, went through 2 batteries and the mods cleared this up...Check for corrosion on the main terminal first...it only takes a small amount of corrosion to wreak all kinds of havok on the TL.

Sounds like the voltage regulator. I also suck with electronics, but owning an aprilia futura forced me ot learn more about them, an dwent through a few regulators and solenoids on that bike. I have a TLS never had charging issues, just oil leaks

I did have electrical problems before and soldered the main terminal. (before i knew it was a problem) Imma gonna open it up and look at the terminal today or tomorrow and see whats up.

And you ask why blow my brains out becuase i hate working with electronic crap, and i hate not knowing whats wrong. I look at wiring diagrams and i wanna cry.
