Just an update
« on: March 31, 2021, 01:18:15 AM »
Old member, but been quiet for a few years. Bought a GL1800 F6B and kind of forgot about the St1300 for a few years. Good news is i dragged her out this week, and apart from a rookie mistake jump starting her, she is runnung like a dream. i had forgotten how mush fun it was to ride the ST.

I always say money may not buy happiness but it can buy a life of misery I could learn to live with.

I hooked up the battery wrong. It blew the main 65 amp fuse and I thought, "ok that was my bad". I fixed the fuse and everything seemed fine. Put in a fully charged new battery and the bike ran as if nothing was wrong ....... Till the battery went flat in the middle of a ride.

That sounds like the diodes in the alternator were cooked by the reverse battery.

Semiconductors are really good at protecting fuses. :grin

A good Auto-electrician should be able to replace the diodes.

You should be able to replace the regulator rectifier unit, new wont be cheap.
