[QUOTE="EpicMango, post: 8178591, member: 639134"] Here's the update on the situation Went to my local Autozone and got an electrical check done. The guy said he had to move around the clamps to read the 14.25v that the alternator was pushing out saying that the chemical buildup was most likely the issue. This is a 12v stock alternator, but yet I see it read 14.25 under no load. Either way under almost full tilt and brights on I dipped to around 12ish volts. I saw that my system under almost full tilt was pulling 35 amps from my walmart everstart battery with my brights on as well Here are some pictures of the before and after removing the buildup. I haven't had a chance to ride around, bump the system and stress my electrical, but I've noticed that my engine doesn't rev lower or almost shut off when I flash my brights...so that must be a good sign? The negative power wire doesn't seem like it has corrosion, and the positive is taped up so I couldn't tell but here are the pictures [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_093441_zps96b712ff.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_093457_zpsf5517204.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_092737_zps78b59597.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_092745_zpsc4611475.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_104742_zpse37e579b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_103313_zps97fd3a60.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_093752_zps3357057b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/20131014_103305_zps9cca7646.jpg[/IMG] I'll bring you guys updates when I have stressed the electrics.
