There were Sports . . .

There were SpineFrames . . .

Goofman would know. He has been coming since SSR VII. This year, SpineRaiders from California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. Conspicuously absent: Kentucky . . . and Varsseveld . . .

@al_roethlisberger last visited June 3, 2023. I looked for him at the Twentieth South'n SpineRaid on NC/TN border, but he was nowhere to be found . . . For that matter, it has been quite a long time since there was a SpineRaider from Alabama.

@OtisV11, take time to carefully measure the rear wheel spacer. Many early V11 sport spacers were undersized and shorten wheel bearing life. The correct length is 113mm, although you can measure your wheel between bearing seating surfaces once your bearings are removed.

Good point. @Paul J. Russell last visited July 26, 2024. Like six weeks ago. Having only joined the week prior, July 19, using the provided email is likely best. As always, caveat emptor .

Fair warning, from a guy that learned this the hard way: SuperClean is also good at removing/softening adhesives like those pesky glue residues that remain when some info-sticker has been removed. Yet, also adhesive wheel weights and our precious SpineFrame eagle medallions . . . S-100 was so corrosive to fastener finishes on one of my bikes, I swore it off.

Best regards to all Twentieth South'n Spine Raiders ! What a great bunch of people, fabulous roads, terrific weather, and proper TechSessions (without anything too dramatic) !

Having tried to follow this thread is maddening. You fellows throw out so many names. Like you know these people, personally. When you transition between surnames and first name and team names, it is just impossible to follow. I am not saying that there is anything wrong, only that it is impossible to decipher from the outer edge without the dedicated immersion . . .

Not likely a Power Commander issue, but simple enough to bypass it and see if anything changes. Next: relays. Especially Relay#2 (from the front) on your 2002. What relay is in that position now? Consider high current relays [currently "Picker components" or "CIT"] in all five positions:

This was suggested before, but it really does act like one of the ring terminals, either on the positive or negative side, got dropped off the battery; as if the charging system has been 'unplugged."

And your battery voltage is the same KOEO/KOER? edit: The red/green is the charging wire through the circuit breaker (fuse) to the battery positive. Voltages on that wire should be the same as the battery if all if that circuit is intact. Next, what are the voltages on the reference wire? This is found in the two wire connector on the left side of the frame. It is the darker of the two wires. (My 1999-2001 wiring diagram shows it as Red/black, but mine is just black.)

Anyone crossing The Appalachian Divide should know that "feels like 90º" on The Plains (of Tellico) can "feel like" the upper 40ºs on The Cherohala after a little dampness/shower/fog/cloud ceiling with wind chill at speed. FWIW, I am using the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and other storm focused weather apps. Places like The Weather Channel™ are, IMO, entertainment focused and will show you a snowflake every chance they get. Snowflakes sell. Meteorology a dull box of cloudy uncertainty. Yet . . . The Cherohala cloud ceiling is real . . .

Latest rain forecasts for the region have dropped to "slight chance." Along with very pleasant dew points/humidity. Big, V-twin air-cooled motor weather!

Yessir, I am hoping that dedicated topic will lead to a resolution and may inform us why that charging wiring back to the battery gets so hot!

So, what is the voltage of the red/green wire KOEO and KOER?

Searching for theme music to ride in my head to SSR XX, Texas (West Virginia) brings N'awlins (Alabama/Hank Williams) to Finland . . .

Got a link for that rear brake switch boot? And the TPS boot? The Neutral Switch boot?

How can we find a solution for this? So many of my connector boots are rock-hard or split . . .

Luscious beasts! Makes me want to mount up, grab a handful, and experience the intensity . . .

Days away to SSR XX . . . mySport is wiped down and battery "conditioned." All the boxes are ticked, plus a few that had to be decisively left alone. "Set down the tools, docc, and step away from the Sport !!", (Waddington said). Parc fermé . . .

Ah! My solution was to squeeze the split bracket around the cable end Ferrell to capture it and prevent movement when the throttle is applied.

The original ignition advance mapping is far from "smooth" at those rpm with low throttle openings. Anatomy of a "hiccup" . . .

I looked at that internal edge on a low mile bell crank and it looks nicely rounded. I wonder if my original had developed a sharper edge from cumulative use. . . . and being ridden like a jackrabbit on hot lava . . .
