Fixed the SV today.

Fixed the SV today. Had to splice some wires, assemble some connectors, etc. Not entire sure if it won't look like this in a week, but we'll see.

I meant to take before, during and after shots, but I kind of got caught up in what I was doing and forgot to.

Had the guy at the motorcycle store tell me this might have happened because of a faulty regulator/rectifier. I hope not. The one in the bike isn't even two years old yet.

Glad it's up & running. I made an appointment for my V Star for the end of next week for her yearly overhaul. I'm not waiting until I have an issue. I'm probably begging for trouble though.

Maybe next late winter spring I can get it to a real mechanic who will fix all my problems. :)

Good luck...being a faulty rectifier...just might be the meaning of "over powered" rectifier since you did the upgrade.  That will give the same result as a faulty one.  When you dont upgrade all...it gives a problem... Cant remember if you upgrade your rectifier or your stator, but same thing, you upgrade stator, you need to upgrade rectifier.  Keeping it all the same...to pull the same output...or this happens...

I replaced the rectifier then replaced the stator. Multimeter readings are reading perfect.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
