[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1538822, member: 21926"] yeah, not just that, so much is controlled by computers on the truck that you could lose a critical system while driving. I didn’t know immediately my Duck was losing the VR. I stopped for an errand and when I made a turn my signal didn’t turn on and when I stopped, I noticed the dash cluster was not lit but it didn’t register. Of course, when I started up, everything was back to fine... until I drove for a while but again I didn’t notice because on the bike it’s not as obvious. Then, a few miles later I spied my signals not working and this time I noticed the dash flickering. I pulled off and cycled the dash to volts and saw something way up there like high 15’s low 16’s and that’s when I knew. I was able to make for the dealer and they knew immediately. Their Duck guy had a huge bin full of toasted regulators. He had some “marginal” ones and offered to swap it until they could procure a new one, I took it and headed home. I knew this was not helpful to long battery life so I ordered a new one. Next start was weak, so I swapped the battery. That was a mistake because the donor v/r wasn’t much better. It started out ok but then scrammed to just as high voltage. I rode maybe... 30 minutes? My super light Shorai battery did not like it one bit and was done for. I’ve lost one on a previous car and not had this kind of drama. Better safe than sorry. I have to say though, I don’t recall anyone here posting similar circumstances on the Rap. Hopefully, it’s a quick fix. [/QUOTE]
