Alright, here’s the issue. My battery died tonight and I had to be jumped off. Before I could make it home I lost headlights and eventually the engine died. I replaced with a new upgrade battery and limped home. I’m trickle charging that battery now.
The machine is a ‘19 but still under the 2000 mile warranty (somewhere). I know this sounds like a simple alternator issue, which apparently isn’t working. The only thing that makes me wonder is that my dash cluster is still waiting for replacement. It was dead except for the backlighting when I bought my Roxor, and the dealer is waiting on my replacement.
Do you think the cluster being out could be causing the alternator to not be cycling on? If not, am I the only alternator issue guy here or are they known to be faulty? Thanks in advance!
