Hey y’all. I’m honestly lost and feel super down.

  • Facts: CBF1000 sc58
  • Last thing I did was get my alternator and regulator repaired/changed. My alternator was burnt out. The mechanic said that it’s am usual problem with this model and the regulator is the problem.
  • I had to learn to take it out and rebuild it myself. About a month ago, I finally put the alternator back in and my bike actually started! I was overjoyed.
  • Since a week now I’m trying to actually ride it again and it won’t start. I recharged the battery (Li-ion). When I tried starting it, the battery kinda drained immediately. It just didn’t start. Luckily, I have a second (gel) battery that was full. I put that in and my bike didn’t even light up. The fuses all look fine to me. The cables should be correct (there aren’t that many options).

I just don’t even know where to start. Thanks for reading

    Well it always takes me forever until I get the time to work on it. I think I just measured all of the things you mentioned. Nothing beeped. Again, the battery is draining by the minute. Again I checked the main fuse and it’s fine. I’m measuring all kinds of things and don’t really know what I’m supposed to do with it. I measured the beeps with the battery connected and it beeped with basically every metal part. I measured resistance with the battery connected and got about 7 ohm between the battery and the metal parts. The DVM manual says it should be between 0-1 ohm. I don’t know anymore. I think I will message the mechanic who repairs the alternator. But it’s been really long now

      Something should’ve beeped, that indicates a disconnected ground connection…
