so many of you may know i have an 04 ds X that has had elecrtical issues since the first day i brought her home...it has sat in gagrage except for the accassional ride..replaced all electrical parts multiple times...4 batteries..starters..wires harness...cdi's..and much more..i have spent many hours on phone with all members of this forum to tackle this thing(thank u all)...well i met someone who says he could look for me one last time for no charge..so he has stated he found 2 things...1---regulator pumping out way to many volts over 18v..blowing aux lights over and over..not sure how i missed it..mine volt meter nevr read that...we will see...2--a short in the aux lighting that was touching frame..re wired entire light system and all systems check out...i havent tested it yet cause of blizzard we are having....DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS SOUND GOOD?

 

the regulator sounds promising.....man i cant believe your still having these issues i remember a year or two ago back when i was on here allot you were trying to get her figured....hopefully it was that simple and she finally works out for you.

 

Hope that fixes it for ya.

let us know how it goes for ya.

 

Hopefully this cures ALL of your ills. With the troubles you've endured with that thing you owe yourself a trip out to Glamis to make up for some lost time. You could try and hook up with the Flatlanders annual trip, or there is another group that comes out every year from NY. They bring a tractor trailer so I know they'd have room for one more.
Reward yourself, you deserve it after all of this.

 

Hope this can help:

i have been pretty patient with her..hopefully she treats me right...sitting on tender in garage as we speak waiting for the snow and cold to go away...then the test will come...i know the guys who go out to glamis from ny but cant ever get it together with them to go...they are good guys...so it looks like a march-april unveiling...ill keep u guys posted

 

Have you ever replaced the voltage rectifier/regulator?

I can't imagine what you've been through. That bike should have been taken care of by the factory.
