I'm having an electrical problem also. 500cc May 1999 Bullet. My bike stopped charging and It ran running only on the battery until it died. I have no problem starting or keeping it running as long as there is power, battery or system charging. Trailered it home, checked all the connections from alternator to amp meter, put it back together, went for a ride, charging resumed but I noticed the amp meter jumped to the left. not charging, headed for home, charging resumes. It goes on and off totally at random. checked alternator output, 30 volts when revved, unplugged regulator, stopped charging,checked ignition switch, It happens at both positions. can't seem to get to test anything when not charging I'm thinking rectifier? would that cut out randomly? I'm afraid to go too far from home, Need help, suggestions.
