    charging system

    Seems our charging system isn't. At idle the head light is bright as RPMs rise it dims somewhat. Also it doesn't want to start sometimes although the battery spins the motor quickly. As soon as we add the battery charger, bang! It fires right off. Any ideas? just a little strange we are both a little perplexed

    I've had that problem twice with my 08. The first time it was the battery and second time it was a slightly loose pole connector! Nine times out of ten when you have a problem like that it's a grounding issue.

    Yep, check connections and if they all look good put a battery in it.

    A forum for motorcycle in general. This site is my personal website being ran by myself Heavybusa and soon BigGeorge. It is a place we can go and talk about all bikes dirt, street, cruiser or whatever else. Also a place we can converge on if Extreme ever has problems so you can get in touch with us to find out what is going on and when Extreme will be up and running again.

    I agree with the above.... had the same problem with a loose connection on my battery. Swapped out mounting bolt on battery and it's been fine ever since.

    Based on my experience on my issue with the battery charger. i got interrupted power supply and not properly charged. I just compromised my time and never believe in the power of maintaining it.

    I was just into the dealer a week or so ago and they said there was a recall in the charging system cable, they replaced mine on my '08 at no charge and it's running beautifully with no problems.
