Hi all, have any of you heard that there is a problem with the 'regulators' on the 'Milwaukee 8' motorcycles, it is what i have heard thru t'grapevine . Mine has been back in Dealers since July 6th and still waiting for one to arrive, it's still under warranty as only bought it last year. T.I.A.

 

Yours is the first I have heard about in the 2 years the M8 has been around.

 

regulator problem mine had

 

Did you have a new one fitted under warranty ? is everything ok now with the new one /

 

 

Yes you're quite right , i'm only saying what i've heard .Hopefully when i have the new one fitted i won't have anymore problems .

 

Had mine replaced under warranty as well.

 

how did you know it was going bad? I think mine is not keeping charge on battery

 

Hi Thudux,
I went to check over my bike the night before i would be off to a rally , i just fired it up, and on looking at the dials i noticed the amp meter was hitting 16 amps when it should be at around 14 amps, so if i had gone to the rally the chances were that the battery would've fried up on me probably out in the middle of nowhere.

 

I had my voltage regulator replaced about 3 months ago. The gauge was pinned at 16 amps. I brought it in to the dealer to be checked out. He said it was at 14.7 amps and that was still in the normal range. I showed him a picture of an amp meter on my bike at 15.57 amps. He smiled, asked me to forward him the picture and replaced it under warranty.
