[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 198835, member: 4617"] Merry Xmas. Trust Santa was good to you. Congratulations on getting it ready. Been working on my second '85 LTD. It is surprising my brother and I with how it is starting and running after a 3 1/2 year lay up. It is a stock bike with no add-ons whatsoever. Checked stator and regulator and have them hooked up and the bike charges at 14.2ish at idle of 1060 RPM. All is good. Checking all the circuits. Horn doesn't work but that is probably the switch - no power at the horns. Also tried the 4 way flashers - just the two up front - have saddlebags off. When I put them on, they work but the power draw was significant. Dropped the dash voltmeter reading to 13.6 ish VDC - surprised me. Maybe LED lights are in order. Let it warm up to determine if the rad fan worked - came on in the 6 bar temp gauge range as does the one on my other '85. Working on the various items to get it road worthy for a trip west to Victoria. Will be looking into the voltage drop, but maybe that is how it should be. The voltage does not drop on my other '85. Another mystery like yours to investigate. These bikes are great when operating well and sure do keep the mind busy. Cheers [/QUOTE]
