[Dash lights on permenately after rebuild]

Hi, I have rebuilt this XT660r after I received it in a generally poor condition.  I've now got it all back together but ten I connect the battery only the indicators, horn and lights work and I have these lights on on the dash.  

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks, Daniel.

Hi, just working on my XT660r...have some questions!

[Super High Ohm Reading From Stator 1977 XS750 - RESOLVED]

Just wanted to come back and report that the charging problem has now been resolved without buying a single part.  Turns out the field coil wasn't being energised due to a broken wire.

Thanks for the help anyway, Dan.

OK, thanks for your help. 

Does anyone know a cross reference site so I can see what other bikes that Stator was fitted to to increase my chances of finding one?

 OK, so with the engine running I get zero volts from between the three yellow wires.

I guess that does confirm that the stator is dead, right?

Thanks, will do.

 OK I can do that. Would I expect to see 13-14 volts ac between each pair od wires? 

I did visually check the Stator and it looked OK. Just a little dirt but not burnt or cracked.

[Snapped and rounded exhaust bolts]

I agree with the above.  I have welded nuts to knackered exhaust studs to get them out.  If you don't have a welder maybe you have a friend who does.

Oh ok, I figured it was a high reading because the manual says it should be 0.48 Ohms +/- 10% at 20*C (68*F)

So I am not charging. I check the Ohm Reading from between the three yellow wires from the Stator and got 6.4 Ohm each time. 

Is my Stator totally fried? 

 

Thanks, Dan. 

[XS750 - 1977 - Piston Kits]

I am in need of a .25 oversize piston kit. Can anyone suggest where these can be obtained. I'm having no luck finding some. Pattern I guess as Yamaha don't make them anymore.

Thanks, Dan

[XS 750 dip stick]

I have a 1977 xs 750 and I do not have the final drive dipstick. I have tried to get one but I wondered if anyone had that they could measure for me and I will make one.

Cheers Daniel.
