so my temp and fuel guages shut off after bike get warm works for about the first five minutes then they drop to zero tryed changing voltage rectifier even replace it with a new one still same problem relpace guages with extra set i had same thing cut off the plug end from the harness and soldered a nother plug end i had still same thing should i cut off the rectifiers end plug and solder wires directly to each other was my next option i also changed the stator but i only taped the wires together could that be the problem everything else seems to be working great even my stereo pushing 200 watts x 4 speakers and not killing battery and yes i am going to solder then stator wires soon lol just gets to damn hot outside to do anything most days cant wait for cooler weather thanks in advance

More than likely your 7 volt regulator has failed. See: 7 Volt Regulator

Replace the regulator with the one below.i had same problem, and it has not failed once .Replaced years ago from this site.

Also testing my new computer system , why I had to post.

Do you have a thermostat installed, and are you running coolant/anti freeze, is your radiator blocked, does the thermo fan cut in, is the right level of coolant in the radiator and expansion tank?

How far do you ride before the temp gets to red- have you checked the 7 volt regulator or is it direct to 12 volts?

like i posted earlyer guages were working yes radiator has all new fluid,pump ,thermostate ,fan works fine its the guages the problem i ordered a new regulator for guages but i have a question if the guages burn out temp and gas will anything else get harmed if i run the bike without the guages they will be hooked up still but after i change regulator and guages still do not work then i burnt out the element that runs the guages so got shocked with 12 volts one to many time will it be ok to run the bike without these guages will fan still come on to cool engine gas is no problem i can use mileage for that part till i can get another set
