Re: Error Code 12?
Since your saying you were having problems with your battery and/or charging system I would def get that checked out before you start taking engine covers off.

Re: Error Code 12?
I had a charging system/battery issue last May, after changing the battery the problem was fixed. But once again, after 4-5 months with a new battery, I am having charging/battery issue again. This is why I am thinking that there is something wrong with my charging system. Someone had mentioned that it was the voltage regulator. I jumped started my bike with a car with it's motor running and somebody said that that was very bad thing to do.
If it's a failing charging system, this could lead to my failed crankshaft posisiton sensor.
I'm pissed off on hearing that, I just swapped out my oil and filter last week. Not even 200 miles on the clock with the new change. I put the good oil in too, the Castrol 12.99 per quart.
Hopefully, it's just a loose wire or disconnecting the battery will reset everything.
Otherwise, I think this this is going to the repair shop, this repair sounds like it's getting too technical. Mechanically, I suck. Period.
To clairify things, are you saying not to take off the Cranking Sensor Cover until the oil is drained?VEGASRIDER...................Member # 35

Re: Error Code 12?
Kenny,
Talk to LCR about oil. I think he's got a solution for you.
Also as others have mentioned you should have a working charged system before you consider that error code.
For some reason I thought you had cranking operational bike...
Charge the battery and get it load tested. I know you have a tender. If the battery is good you could have a bad stator or Voltage regulator/rectifier.
The reason you can damage your regulator/rectifier when you jump the bike from a car is if the car is running, the regulator on the bike sees it's threshold voltage provided from the car charging system and because bike uses a shunt type regulator it passes additional current through a solid state device that is coupled to a heat sink and dissipates the additional current as heat. Since a cars charging system provides much more current than the bike's regulator/rectifier can dissipate, the bike's regulator can be damaged.
You can jump start from a car but the car must not have the engine running.
If you can't fix it by hitting it with a hammer, it's electrical!

Re: Error Code 12?
Dude, I love this forum and its members. Excellent explanation Cliff, I was wondering about this when I read it further up in this thread.
Kenny, best of luck with your error code. Could it be that your stator/alternator/whatever generates juice for our bikes is going out? 6 months is an awful short lifespan for any vehicle battery.
And Kenny don't worry about jinxing yourself - I've heard you talk about not having mechanical problems several times (in person) before, and your bike has been running fine since then, up until this point.

Re: Error Code 12?
So my gameplan is to change out the voltage regulator and stator first, or are they the same? What part number would that be on Ron Meyers? I want to make sure I order the correct.
Too bad there isn't a bike being parted out.
I might try disconnecting the battery and see if I can get the error code to dissapear. But I am not going to go near the Crankshaft Sensor unitl the charging system is swapped out.
Looks like I'll be a cruiser dude for a while. Everybody is telling me that I don't look the part (riding in full gear). I want to look like a pro, not a poser.VEGASRIDER...................Member # 35

Re: Error Code 12?
If you want to cross reference the part number against R6 and R1s to see if they are the same I will check the racing forums. someone is usually always parting out a bike on one of them.
