I don't really care about your question. You jumped right in with how "everyone is giving random answers without knowing"... I was simply reminding you that you were the first to reply to his questions with "it sounds like a dead short to me".
Dictionaries won't teach you AC theory, tattooo. Impedance and resistance are two similar, yet very different things. AC coils by nature are low resistance but have impedance which is the factor that makes the difference.Last edited by rockman96; 11-14-2021, 12:53 PM.Comment

Thank you, you proved my point......
I see that the OP hasn't posted since the his first post and I don't blame him at all...... We all have a right to post our opinion right or wrong.... We still don't have enough info to help him....
I myself hope he comes back so we can help him but it isn't looking good.....Comment

Point? I just tried to explain to you why it is NOT a direct short when AC is flowing. You obviously do not have any background in AC electrics, so I don't know why you're arguing the matter.
This was post 2, not "post 12"...Comment

You do know we are also talking about a bike which is DC right???????
And by the way yes I do have a back ground in AC.... I took it in school worked for an electrical company for years and wired my house, shop and many other structures..... And I could go on but there is no need.....Last edited by Tattooo; 11-14-2021, 6:19 PM.Comment

If you studied AC and you're still arguing, then I really don't know what else to say to you.
Go back and look. The quote I highlighted was post #2... Where the first thing you said was "sounds like a dead short to me".
And yes, you are arguing. Why the hell you're doing that is beyond me, on a logical level.Last edited by rockman96; 11-14-2021, 7:43 PM.Comment

Logical or not... I guess this all started when you jumped on my post right off the bat when we don't even know the guys problem..... Or was it because I posted first?????
I still say it could be a short...... But I doubt we will ever know because this thread has gone sideways.....Last edited by Tattooo; 11-15-2021, 6:45 AM.Comment

I haven't been active in a few weeks due to moving houses, but man, what a ride has it been reading through. Haha.
I have taken into account the voltage regulator, and got an new one that was sure to work with my battery, just to be safe. It had an unnamed unmarked one on when I bought her. As for shorting out under the seat, my seat has cloth underneath the pan, and shows no signs of rubbing or gouge marks. I also, for those wondering, have an after-market 3-pos ignition switch. I don't know that it's name brand or nothing, as I can't seem to find any numbers on it. So the owner probably bought some generic one, based on what I have seen on it so far. I plan to get a better one, but not sure if that could be the trouble. As for the dead-short conversation, I have taken a full look around the bike, and found no indications of such shortage. But the wiring is a bit dirty, and some is tucked up, so who knows if I can't see something hidden. But if I buy a new battery, she starts up after a few kicks, but now dies within minutes. I barely had time to get her warmed up, and taken around the block before dying again. So it could be a loose wire rubbing that's gotten worse?. I plan to go over the whole wiring harness(possibly creating a whole new one) this winter.Last edited by CupidsDeathDay; 12-10-2021, 10:18 PM.Comment
