Update from yesterday evening:

  1. Plugged relay 2 back in. Battery terminals read 12.7 key off, 12.6 key on, 13.0 when I took it off the tender about an hour ago.
  2.

Have been hanging out here since February - trying to learn stuff - when I bought a nice low mileage 2001 V11S. Rode 6K fun miles between then and August, with no drama, and then the charging system started acting up: first overcharging and destroying a new Odyssey battery . . .

 

Let's talk batteries, @Sam P.

Did you replace the "destroyed Odyssey" with another Odyssey, or something else?

A voltage loss from 13.0 to 12.7 in an hour is not a good sign for an Odyssey. There are specific parameters to "condition" the Odyssey that may help contribute to a solution. "trickle chargers"/ "tender" are known to be damaging to the Odyssey battery unless the voltage is adequate, yet will not "charge" the Odyssey with sufficient amperage (at least 6 amps).

SamP , did you reconnect the red/green wire to the V reg ? 

Also , there should be continuity between the 2 pin connector consisting of a blue wire and a red/black on the regulator wiring harness of the bike wiring harness.

Mostly for helping myself to understand the circuit and the suggestions for troubleshooting, might be of help to others. If someone sees errors, I will correct them.

Mea culpa: I just realised I didn't do the math to the end here

I've corrected myself there, and here

Nicely simplified schematic. :thumbsup:

Just a note, that the red/black output from "Headlight" Relay (#2) does supply the brake light (also horns), but not the entire left switch cluster (i.e.: not the turn signals). :nerd:

Perhaps Fuse #5 (F5) should be indicated ahead of the Starter Relay. Turn signals are Fuse #7 (F7)

good suggestion, I will pour some Evan Williams and make some changes :drink:
