It's a couple years since I posted the picture and the Dale still gets ridden! Going to the Eastern Sierra in a couple of weeks with the Dale and Berg. I'll post a picture when I get back.

Do you mean it starts and then dies when you disengage the starter button? If so sounds like wiring or connection. Look at the wiring diagram and confirm all switches are connected properly and check the kill switch (use a voltmeter) and make sure it did not fail.

It's been a while but I remember I had to find the right connector pin by looking at the ATV harness and add it to the motorcycle harness that comes off the computer. I think I kept some notes if you want me to look it up. You probably have some old extra harnesses you can use for a pin and pigt...

Cool to hear it's back alive. Inspires me to go ride mine this weekend - but mine has only been about 4 months.

I'll put something in but there just isn't much discussion. It would sure be great if there was a way to get all the archives for the old Cannondaler site. There was a lot of good motorcycle info that is lost.

Another ride from this weekend above Truckee CA (near Lake Tahoe). Fun rocky singletrack at about 7000 ft that we dual sport rode to. My son likes the stability of the Cannondale in the rocks. He likes it more than the Husky TE310 because of the stability and the extra power. I rode my Husaberg 570 ...

Rechecked the output again after I fully charged the lead acid battery - now I'm getting 14.4 so all is good. I think the cheap lead acid I put in 2 yrs ago is on it's way out and I have a much lighter lithium to put in it's place anyway. Win win. We are riding rocky singletrack up at Ta...

I was wrong - I have the HD motorcycle regulator already. I'll check everything in the charging system. I ran a cheap lithium battery from Rocky Mtn a year ago and it died quickly (with using a lithium tender) but it was not high quality so I was not sure if it was the battery or the charging sy...

I have a quad voltage regulator along with a quad stator in my e440. I checked voltage level of the regulator and it's right around 13.6 and peaks about 13.9. It's not quite enough for charging a lithium battery. It looks like it's potted up so I don't think I can modify the circuit....
