I have a problem with the charging system on a 2007 commando. The panel indicator starts flashing at about 800 rpms and stops flashing around 3000 rpms. I have connected a battery meter to the battery and when the light is flashing the meter is showing around 16 volts .I suppose the indicator is trying to tell me that it is overcharging. At idle and above 3000 rpms the light goes off and the meter shows about 14.5 volts. I ordered and replaced the rectifier and it didn't help. I took the altinator off and had it tested and the results were that it was fine.I have tried running a ground wire from the battery to the engine block and that does't help either.I and all of my buddies are out of ideas. If anyone out there has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate hearing them. Thanks Ron

can you post a photo of your alternator? I have rebuilt a couple of Joyner alternators and had no bad reviews. Try disconnecting the alternator output from the rest of the system, start your engine, check the voltage with no load, if zero, touch the alternator output lead to 12 volts for a moment and then check the voltage again, it needs some external power to get going. Sounds like your regulator is not regulating and going wide open.

Thank you for your reply.As I said in my post I had the altinator checked by an altinator shop and they found nothing wrong with it. Late yesterday I pulled the battery out and replaced it. No flashing light and charging normal.I called my battery supplier and described the problem that I was having and asked if it was possible for a battery to cause such a problem. He said YES. He is going to bring his battery tester to my shop Monday and check it.Hopefully it is just something strange going on inside the battery because we have checked about everything else.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      "R" light will not go out when the UVT is in any other gear. Is this an issue?
      By Steve B
      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?

      2014 Odes Raider 800 surges
      By donny
      Hello I am new here but have had this machine for about 5 years. I am having issues with it surging and sometimes sounding like a small backfire thru the intake.  When putting in low, high or reverse it will struggle then go full power then struggle. It will only do the small backfire thing while in neutral reving it many times. Once in awhile it will throw a check engine light.  
      Parts replaced/checked:
        I have checked the valve lashing, timing and adjusted. Parts replaced are the coils, spark plugs, injectors, fuel lines, fuel pump, IAC sensor, TPS sensor, throttle cable, speed sensor, primary and secondary clutch and belt.
