Ditto on this. I have the same year just an EG Classic. My dash volt gauge is a full volt short of actual voltage at battery. And when I run my (self canceling) blinkers it drops a full volt every cycle of the blinker. My radio antenna was also broke at the steering neck when I bought it. And found to be cracked in many other places when I replaced it.


Also check your connection at the stator. Mine was very loose and did not have great connection. Even fell off a few times before I put on a bracket from ebay to hold it in place.

Front end is smooth. So I suggest you have your wheel checked for balance again. Possible bent rim? Maybe bearings need to be replaced? Sounds like it has sat most of it's life. All grease should be attended to and freshened up.


OH and WELCOME to the forum!

 

When something stops working, the first thing to look at is the last thing that was done. My guess is the turn signal thing is related to the new speedometer.

If you went through the sticky and everything checks out, then the regulator and stator should be fine. In any case, your turn signals should work correctly even at "low" voltage.

I discovered something during my recent handlebar swap that may be relevant here. After I got the bars wired up and installed, but still had the headlamp/spotlamp/front turn signal assembly off the bike, I tested the turn signals to verify my wiring. What I noticed was that they would come on (meaning the rear turn signal lamps and the dash indicators), but would not blink.

This is on a 1990 FLHTC, so I'm guessing we have the same setup.

My advice is that the next thing you could do is open up the batwing and give the wiring a good going over. It's a miserable chore of a job. There are more wires stuffed in there than you can imagine. But since you said your mechanic replaced the speedo, that means he was in there recently, and it's possible that something was jarred loose.

Did your guy replace the whole instrument "pod" as a unit, or did he open it up and just replace the speedometer? Either way, if the trouble persists after you clean and inspect the connections in the batwing, I'm guessing your trouble lies inside the instrument pod, probably just a loose/bad connector.

 

where is this sticky you speak of? new to forum use and I can't seem to find it
