As you may recall, my '82 GL1100A had a battery drain issue before.
Yesterday rode her 60 miles on freeway @ 75~80 mph. Good ride.
On the way home, dropped by local u-haul to fill the propane tank.
Tried to start the engine but the starter wouldn't turn.
U-haul guy pushed the bike for me and bump start worked and went home.
Charged the battery overnight.
Load tested this morning. (~400 CCA and good.)
Hooked it up to the bike and the engine starts.
The voltage at the battery terminals is 12.3V no matter how I rev'ed the engine....
Is this infamouse alternator gone bad or Reg/Rec dead?
How should I proceed from here?
