Good morning to all.  Frigid temps this morning in the mid 20's.  Have a great day!

Happy Thursday morning to all!  There you go...tomorrow it is.

That being said, when is going to warm up.  We had two nice days last week when I could have gone for a ride but was busy.   Yesterday it was 16 and snowing.   Mostly gone now but everything is wet.

Hi Don.  I remember going to your house long time ago and being that close to the great lakes probably has its pros and cons.  As far as two beautiful days a week ago, I managed to get a ride in on my RSV.  I can't wait to do a safety check on the SVTC and ride to and from work this weekend since I got called in once again to cover for a colleague.  

Weather next week in our area according to our local weatherman is seasonal in the 50s, so the warm up is not really coming fast enough.  Hopefully next week, we hope to hear something from you that you were able to get a ride in on your Harley.  

Good evening to all.

Good morning to all!  I am going to take a power nap.  Enjoy your Friday.

That must have been quite the power nap! Haven't seen you post on this thread for awhile!

I'm terrible about lurking and not actually saying anything. We need more people like you out there!

Hope everything is going well!

Hello and Good evening.  I've been around, but have been working too much.  Over the last two weeks, I've always been called in to work over the weekend and has been steadily busy at work and at home.  Most of the time, I am around but was fighting a head cold last week and wasn't up to par.  Now, I am much much better and this week is my Spring break vacation.  Not really going anywhere...simply working around the house and cleaning up after a harsh winter season.  Today and tomorrow, we have contractors replacing all of our old windows so it has been active in the homefront.  

Great to hear from you and keep in touch with everyone here.  I'll be around tomorrow and no riding yet until I get to do my first grass cut.  Have a great Tuesday!

Glad to hear that things are good and you're over your headcold. No idle hands for you I suppose. Its been busy around here too. 

Still going to school, I have 6 classes left until graduation, I just took a Certified Survey Technician Level 2 test for work which was 4 hours long and I'm working on getting my Part 107, SUAS drone license, so I feel your business. 

[N3FOL]

Best of luck on your journey towards success.  Your skillset is highly desirable and you will never run out of options.  I remember talking to a fellow amateur radio operator and he was talking about being certified to fly drones.  I really looks to be a lot of fun to fly drones.  Take care and hope you get the chance to put some ride in despite your busy schedule.

tried to enter this elsewhere but couldn't! Want to try and test stator and voltage regulator as bike hasn't been charging like it should (carry spare battery in saddle bag)! Looked up in maintenance area and pretty sure my tester doesn't have same settings needed to test right. What settings can I use on this tester. Think I need one for AC test. Any help!

[N3FOL]

Your meter looks like it can measure AC and Resistance.  From what I can remember and read, measure resistance (usually at 200 Ohms) between the different phases of the stator...Phase 1, 2 and 3 and off course the AC voltage between the wire terminals by which documentation should measure between 40 to 70 volts.  Documentation online states to check your manufacturers specs to compare what you get.  It is recommended to check the bike's service manual for the correct specs.  

I've never done it, but just be careful.  Best of luck.
