Author Message   Cowles1016 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 12:56 pm:        So, in the morning when I go to work I take the highway and get up to about 60-70mph. After a bit of riding both my check engine light and battery light come on. It is not an everyday thing and it's about 37 degrees out in the morning. It seems like it's not getting fuel to the engine properly or something because it seems like it's having trouble staying at that speed. Maybe a bad fuel pump? Sorry if this is kind of confusing, but can anyone shed some light on this situation?   Cowles1016 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 12:57 pm:        Sorry it is a 2008 buell 1125r with about 12,000 miles   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 03:31 pm:        Welcome to the board. First thing you should do is check the codes to see which ones trigged it, and then proceed from there. To get into diagnostic mode, hold down MODE and TOGGLE on the gauge cluster, then turn the key to ON. From there you can tab through the settings till it shows you the current and historic codes. Just a shot in the dark, it could be a failing battery or possibly the stator, given that you were also getting the battery light.   Cowles1016 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 04:07 pm:        thanks, I had looked into it before and it was leaning towards the stator. Thank you for the information.   Two_seasons Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 04:16 pm:        Check your battery connections for tightness.   Dennis_c Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 06:10 pm:        check your volts from stator AC 35 to 40v at 3000 RPM connect voltmeter across stator connector terminals 1-2 then 2-3 then 1-3 also disconnect voltage regulator. ON an 08 I will bet your stator is good. If good might be a bad regulator.
