unknown86 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello All hope that I come to the right place to see about getting some help. Here is what I have on my hands. My bike will start and run but will not charge the battery. I hooked up a multimeter when riding, volts will drop if I go over 5000 RPM, Hit my breaks or use turn signals. and when I turn the bike off volts climb to 12.48 volts. Things I have tried. * Tested Stator with multimeter and get a reading of .6 ohms between all three legs. * Tested rotor and get reading of 3.4 ohms (yes its a little high but still good) * Changed out brushes So my next move should be to check the voltage regulator I would think. However I have no ideal on how to do so and what specs or volts I should or shouldn't have. Can someone please help me out with this info thank you.

KirriePete Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 1. Read this - Clicky Link b. Consider yourself lucky someone else didn't dive in and send you here - More Clicky Link iii. Reg/rec - volts across the battery should rise up to about 14.5 as the revs go up. Better charge the battery up off the bike first to be safe. Now pop over to the Noobs section and introduce yourself properly, there's a good chap (or chapess, we have no way of knowing right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown86 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thank you KirriePete I should have hit the Noobs section first that was rude of me. Also I understand what the Reg/rec does what I was looking for is more of a way to test just the Reg/rec by it self. To get that 14.5 at the battery everything was to be working. If the stator is grounding out some place then I'm not going to get 14.5 at battery. And the battery is good like I said the bike will start and run I can disconnect the stator and rotor and the bike will start and run. Once again Thank you for any help.
