Charging problems on 2012 Electra Glide Ultra CVO
« on: July 12, 2013, 12:53:37 AM »

Hi everyone, I've just picked up a 2012 CVO Electra Glide with 800 miles on the clock  but the battery is charging intermittently. Some of the time the dash gauge is reading normal 14 v and then , for no reason it will drop to about 12 v and eventually the engine warning light and battery light will come on. The book says there could be an earthing problem, any ideas on where to start looking?

Thanks

Has the voltage regulator recall been done yet?

Many of the 12 touring bikes had defective voltage regulators.  That should be covered under warrantee to get that replaced,,    Mine went out too  :nixweiss:
