No can’t say as I have. A Gremlin gave me a flat, but my bell knocked him off and kept us in control. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Actually we don’t care about grammar or spelling in the North East section, so long as you post.
I don't care either, but he kinda asked about how it was spelled.

I have a "Guardian Bell". My understanding is it surpose to keep you safe. Bike trouble, that's taken care of by the "Wallet"

On my way home from my overnight in Truro, the voltage meter on the bike started to fluctuate between 12.6V to 11.8V not good. Turning everything off not needed made no difference.
Just retuned from having the Stator tested, there lied the problem. The Stator connector to the rear of the Duel Stators was melted and burnt. So "New Duel Stators And Connectors" are ordered, and should be here by ( I hope ) Friday.
One very good battery thrown away. But the good side, I was able to still ride with my " VERY GOOD FRIENDS ". So it was worth the price of a battery to do so, " NO REGRETS ".
If you are looking for bike parts at reasonable prices check out this web site. They have both Canadian and American decisions.

rmstator.com (be sure you're on the correct site for where you are)
Glad you made it home Pete. And you know what needs to be done. Next trip will be no problem.

Update: Turns out the Stators were in rough shap, so ordered 2 new. My error forgot to order the gasket, so that finally arrived end of last week. Installation of the new Stators were finished today but still not charging. So now it's time to replace the regulators, ordered. Been a month of no rain, and no bike.
If anyone needs to replace their Stators or regulators may I recommend rmstator.com Be sure to click on which country you are from ( US or Canada ). I placed my order over the phone, just to be sure I'll receive the correct item. Very friendly service.
