help me!!!!!!!!!!

on our ride out last night a few times the grizz lost all power made a burrrr noise and flashed the reverse light it didnt cut out but lost all power for a few seconds  !!

Help me doctor what does this mean???
Big Jim

It means you dont ride your quad enough
WELLZY

i had the same problem with my fathers 4x4, it may be the fuel filter or a blockage resricting the fuel flow.

Maybe ... but how does that explain the flashing reverse light??
WELLZY

because the way the quad acts tricks the system into thinking that it is in reverse whilst trying to go forward so flashs the reverse light?
Rob

If i could be bothered to find the thread on the Grizz forums I would tell you what it is... get hunting Ant!
grae

The flashing reverse light is a fault warning system that goes wrong quite often and just flashes for no bloody reason.... could be linked to your voltage prob, if not enough charge being made by bike, cdi will shut down and bike will die, or could just need carb cleaning out, 660 is prone to carb problem's,.....
Rob

mine flashed today, for a short while. Think its becasue I am such a pro rider, the bike was aking me to slow down so it could keep up Shocked  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing
SATVC

Grae I think your right when I put on the new battery fully charged there was no probs!
there's still a charging prob as the battery went flat last night and the reverse light started flashing??
I've put on a new battery what is the next thing to look at as far as the charging probs concerned!
Big Jim

Take it to the garage you tight git
SATVC

I have. Now!!
to close to Wales trip to muck about!
its going to harper and eede tomoz morning at 8am
grae

How do you mean, "you think i'm right" of course i'm right, nae doubt in my mind whatsoever......  Laughing Next up to check is wiring to and from battery, good connections and clean tight as appropriate. start engine, about half revs with the lights all ON!!!! charging rate at battery terminals should be around 13.2v or higher upto 14.4v if its lower or higher first place to look is regulator rectifier unit, see if you can swap it with someone else with same bike..... voltage going into regulator rectifier should be somewhere over 16v - 17v if voltage going in to it is low, its time to fit a new stator assembly.... £££££ Shocked

There is another option Ant has got Grae, and that's to part ex the bike, whilst its still running, against a new one.

With lights on at half revs I'm getting 12.2 v
haven't tested regulater yet!!
grae

Its not charging, 12.2-12.4v is standard battery voltage. swap the regulator with a known good one if you can.....
SATVC

power going into the regulator is 7.5 v

Looks like its the stater coil!

What's a rough price for changing one of these grae just so I know I'm not geting stiched up by the company I've taken it to??

Lost your manners Ant?
Rob

I hope you get stitched big time, I hope they rob you blind like you do to us at every meet, infact I'm going to ring them and tell them you are loaded and you need to be bent over big style! Twisted Evil  Twisted Evil
grae

I think a stator for your model is around the £250ish mark, should be 2-3 hrs labour at most....
Big Jim

OUCH!

Good job you are one loaded motha fucka
SATVC

Ok??   So prob end up about £400
big ouch !!!!!
Big Jim

You still haven't said "please" or "thank you" yet to Grae, he is not your slave sunshine
SATVC

grae knows I love him and thanx just isnt good enough
when/if he ever comes daan saawf he will recive special thanx
Big Jim

And still have enough robbin' profit for him & Secret Squirrel to have a slow burn round the M25!!
Rob

bloody gayers!
SATVC

Apparently theres nothing wrong with the charging system????

they say the little 55w driving lights are whats draining the battery??

Any ideas any body i need light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grae

Why was there only 7.5v going to regulator then?

you can borrow a candle if you want
WELLZY

HID OR LED, never heard of led lights for quads but you can get HID?
Big Jim

WTF are HID's?
SATVC

bloody expensive that's what they are!
WELLZY

http://www.hidstore.com/quadhidfacli.html
Big Jim

fook me they are expensive!
grae

HID, high intensity discharge.... very bright, very expensive, high voltage, they run at about 400v.... box that comes with them is a voltage invertor.
grae

Your 55w lights, is that the yamaha head lights? or do you have extra lights running on your bike? your standard stator and battery can run your headlights all day long no bother at all. if your standard lights are draining your battery and there is only 7.5v going into your regulator, then your stator is knackered or you have a wiring problem.

Blimey, look good, but they are mega money!

If I wanted to replace my 35 watt headlight bulbs with 55 watt ones, would they work ok? Cheers

No there add ons with a separate switch! not used that often??
grae

So if they aren't running that often, how are they draining the battery? or am i just being thick?
Big Jim

Their diagnosis doesn't really make sense???
SATVC

Exactly!!!!!!!

when i get it back im gonna have to follow the guide lines im sure the reg/rect is ok? but need to check the stator coils
if you want it done propperly check it yourself break something and take it to scotland and get grae to fix it!!!
Rob

gayers
grae

Its not exactly rocket science is it.....
Rob

It is for some of these muppets - All Ant knows about is being Gay and robbing us all blind!
Big Jim

Robin Hood?

Robin Bastard more like!
Rob

yeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grae

Hurry up!

Have you got your grizzly fixed yet ant? fits the matter with it?
Big Jim

Are you making an appearance this weekend at Toms Farm Grae????
grae

No chance, i'd end up spending all weekend fixing your lots quads...... Laughing
Big Jim

God, didn't think about that!!!

Best bring a credit card swipe machine!!!

The yammy dealer said when I got there to pick it up there had been a dry joint in the loom which he sorted and the 55w lights were zapping more power than the elecs were giving out!! Seems ok now been over it with the multi and everything matches mr haynes bible!

Next prob I need propper lights??? Help!!!  to dangerous riding on the road at night!!! And no 10 millon pounds hid please!!!
grae

You can get a HID light kit for £99,they put less drain on your loom, and give out a fearsome amont of light.... other than that its just ordinary spotlights i think. You could try putting the new blue or white type bulbs in they do make a fair difference. Cool
SATVC

do you sell £100 hids grae I'll have 2 if you do!!
grae

Look at some of these on Ebay..
