Actually, the root to all evil is a shitty battery. Probably a lot of the EHC failures are do to a battery that is bad.:roll::roll:
Ya; I don't give a shit the guys gonna be down for a week or whatever and spend some money for something he may or may not need right. My bike runs fine....
I still ain't buying the whole root of all evil is this mysterious EHC, but whatever... Happy Friday....
Yeah, I hear ya....:2thumbs::2thumbs:
I've not only read a lot about the EHCs, I actually studied & run some test on the failure issues.
The '04s, either their good or their bad!
The '05s & '06s (with the exception of the clear potted ones) are better than the '04s by a long shot. But still were trouble at times, and easy to mess up if you're not careful.
The '07s were a drastic jump up in reliability from the previous EHCs. Thanks to Mike and the Team! :2thumbs:
And the '08s to present are even better. :2thumbs:
But "MOST" of the problems "ARE NOT" so much with the EHCs, but with the electrical connections to and from the EHCs!
Yea, they go bad and I'm by "NO MEANS" defending these monsters.
But I feel that it's pretty hard to tell someone to go and buy the WP unit, when I know good and well that there are things that need to be checked out to see if the EHC is "TRUELY" bad.
I think that the "How-To" check your EHC was previously done on here, correct?
But in order to do up a thread on "How-To" diagnose your EHC to see if it is really bad, would take months or maybe even years, because of so "MANY" differet things that can affect their proper operations. :down:
Plus not all here (No Offence) are electrically inclined enough to check everything properly.
But It's a Good Idea! :2thumbs:
dead
It's about damn time I got R E S P E C T !!!!!!!And BadBrad didn't just get that name for nothing!
He can fix-up just about ANYTHING,..at least ONCE!
:2thumbs:
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
If I reply to a thread, it's because I've already broken it and fixed it. It may have happened in a previous life, but I've done it all the same. A flat spot on a tire or a flat spot on a chariot wheel. Same thing. :roll::roll:
Does your bike still have electrical power when it dies? Are all the lights on and the starter still work? If so then I agree with the others, your cam sensor is overheating which some pipes that run to close to the cam cover seem to cause this. If it is the cam sensor don't replace it with the plastic ones, get the metal one. I think Gas Man or someone else has a How To on it.
Hmmmm ... does REPEATED head work ring a bell??????
I would rather push a bike in Hawaii than drive a truck in Pennsylvania right now. NO SYMPATHY FROM ME.
