Ugh. One thing after another it seems with these bikes.
I arrive to work on my bike and its smoking like crazy from the starter cover.
Check the front charging system and sure enough the diode board is toasted! melted even.
I read somewhere on here the same thing happening to someone but it was due to a faulty diode? or running to many high-wattage lights on his bike? i wasn't sure.
I did upgrade the system to the 3 phase one from EME a year ago about but looking for any insight as to why it might of got toasted like this.
Also can I remove it or disconnect it and ride it back home safely? I understand the diode just converts ac to dc or is it the other way around? ha
so there would be no charge but im hoping there should be enough charge in the battery to at least get it started and going.
