Re: Converter unit

The meter is reasonable, and once over 3000 rpm the 14v was really steady and didn't move

Re: Converter unit

Just went through the charging system and everything is normal the voltage at the battery is only 14v even doing 9000rpm, the only time it's a little higher is at 1000rpm at around 14.5v, I didn't bother with the leakage when off as there isn't any issues with flat batteries, or when the bike isn't ...

Re: Converter unit

You are right it wasn't free

I also plan on opening the dead cdi and attempting to fix it.

Re: Converter unit

Have you started out by checking charging as in R/R and battery? If not, start there... I don't think it's the Regulator or battery when it died the motor lost power and wouldn't accelerate but was still running. On the side of the road I got the crank the engine many times, I can only assume that ...

Converter unit

HI, My 03 storm died in the middle of a ride on the weekend had to get it towed, no spark. Tested all ECU connections they appear ok, no peak voltage from converter unit to coils. Does anyone know what type of signal comes out of the ICM for the converter unit. My best guess it's a clamp to GND ...
