Alternator going South??? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

moesvette · 05-02-2006

My 90 seems to have the voltage charge run lower than normal after the engine compartment gets up to temperature. It runs about midway on the gauge, which looks to me like about 12 volts. When the engine is cold, and I first start up, it seems to run closer to 16 volts for awhile. When the gauge reads lower, the blinkers work slowly (especially at night with headlights). Does this mean I am looking at an alternator change soon?
Thanks!
