Hi everyone,
Just rode the DN-01 to get the bike inspected for rego today (1800kms on the odo). I left the key to "ON" for around 10 seconds but didn't start it - during this time the brake lights, turn signals, high beams and horn were all tested.
When I started it to leave it started first go but after a few seconds idling it stalled! I thought this might be electrical related but the battery was a new one and started it again perfectly.
I rode around 10kms home but during the last traffic light (500m from home) the bike stalled again - the same as the first time. I was idling at the traffic light and it lost revs and died.
Now I've read that the DN-01 has an alternator that is fairly weak, would anyone be able to clarify further on this? Has anyone found an off the shelf alternator from a different Honda (say Goldwing) which has a larger charging capacity?
Another observation was an electrical clicking/arcing sound near the front (radiator area), is this normal or not?
Hoping to hear your replies.
