Can you repost it? It's coming up saying it's older than 90 days and won't list now?

Well i installed it today and I must say that for 26.95 it sounds pretty good. I can say that the Linhai aelous charging system has trouble with it. Every time the fan kicks on it powers off and when the fan shuts off it powers on. Weird thing is that I am running directly off battery. I guess the drain of the fan does it. Plays perfectly with the bike not running. I have a older motorcycle battery that is still good so i put a charge on it and put it securely under the seat and wired the radio to it and off I went on a 2 hour ride. The radio played as expected. I wonder does any one out there know why the fan affects the radio even though it was wired directly to the battery?. I pulled that extra battery to check it for drain and it still showed a full charge. I guess I can get a long time between charges using it. Gonna leave it this way until I can figure out what the problem is. The radio is a good deal for the money imho.

Hey bones--I expect that your battery is not up to par,being kinda old- that fan pulls a lot of amps--if the radio shuts off when the fan turns on it is a pretty good clue--you might consider a new battery with a few more amps storage--if you got 9 amps look for 11 amperage in a battery--also you may have a weak charging system --alleyoop probably got the specs for that-also JR has tinkered with batteries and charging systems quite a bit-good luck,fflintstone

Yep, I think I will get a new battery. I need one anyway. Kill two birds with one stone. As far as I know the charging system has always worked normally. It has always kept my battery charged. I wonder how much power the fan uses?. It must put a good strain in the charging system.

I can only share my tribulations with my Roketa; from Day 1 the charging system was not up to snuff, especially once the fan kicked in. I replaced a lot of bulbs with LEDs, put in a headlight cutoff switch for daytime, and even installed a replacement fan that supposedly draws fewer amps, all to little avail. Ultimate cure, or so it seems after the first several hundred miles, was a gorilla-grade R/R from Oregon Motorcycle Parts, expensive but way, WAY better then the OEM R/R. Haven't seen an engine-on reading below 13v ever since, even with everything switched on.
Can't relate any of this to the OEM radio, as I rarely use it.

I checked Oregon motorcycle parts but could not determine which r/r is right for my Aeolus 300. Which one do you think it is?. Thanks for your help. |

Can't be of much help there, way too electro-technical for me, but the guy at Oregon is super-helpful. I went back and forth with him a few times about the external wiring and plugs, and he did his best to steer me straight. Suggest you EMail him and get his recommendations. I imagine he'll want as much info as possible about your scooter and the current R/R, how many wires, what colors, etc., etc., maybe pictures as well.
I will say, though, that I now have about 1200 miles with my new R/R and am happy as can be with its performance.
