Default 2009 ZX14 Charging Problem

I took my bike apart to add a Power Commander V and have a bunch of parts chromed including the triple tree top clamp and the stator cover and now for some reason my bike is having a hard time charging. I started out from home at about 12.0 volts but when I got about 9 miles from the house it was at 9.8. Needless to say I needed up having to trailer it home. I have checked all the ground connections for the Power Commander and all the connections for the Stator and I could not find anything wrong.

Any ideas on how to get this fixed would be appreciated because I really want to get some riding time in before winter hits.

Let me know.

Thank you.

Welcome to KF.
Backtrack to the install. Pinched wires? Loose connections? Remove the PC5 and see what you get.

I tracked back all the wires and found nothing and re installed everything and still had the problem.

I am in the process of taking the Power Commander off to see if that is the problem. I just did not know if there is some security thing that gets set when the ignition is removed and then reinstalled

Good point, heck it may even be the tip over sensor now that you mention it. lol I did not have that issue on my 10r when the pc3 was installed. I need to look at a manual on the 14 now for some personal knowledge.
