Yester day my buddies F7' s lights all went out , and tach quit. when he would stop and let it idle the tach would come back, tehn when he would start again the tach would go out again. Any suggestions?

Exact same thing happened to me last weekend. At first I did not realize the lights were blown out, since it happened in the daylight. I thought something was wrong with the display. Then on Monday, I thought I would look things over and noticed all 4 headlights and the brake/taillight were shot. I assumed it must be the Voltage Regulator. I had that replaced on Wednesday as well as all of the lights. The display must have a built in safety feature that prevents it from gettting burned up by too many volts so it is still working. We finally got some decent snow and some good riding yesterday and all seems well 175 miles later.

Dont forget to check your hand warmers and thumb some times when a voltage regulator goes bad it will take those out as well.

We were kind of guessing that it may have been the regulator. Iguess we will see.

Luckily I did not have my hand and thumbwarmers on at the time the regulator quit. Guess I was just lucky
