Recommended Posts

From what I have read and post #18 above it looks like your good. Dont you hate when you buy something brand new and in a week its junk. Batteries over the last say 10 yr have gotten terrible. I guess because they try to make them lighter and cheaper and the plates etc just wont hold up. Its bad when a "cheap" battery for your car is close to $100 and thats like 550 cca

Yea Djh3, I hope this problem is over. I've lost 2-3 weeks riding because of this.

 

With my luck I thought it would end up being the stator. Really hope this R/R and the napa battery solved all this charging issue.

If when the bike is running and you rev it up to around 2'000 RPM you do get an increase in voltage at the battery to something close to 13.5 or so then you have either a bad regulator (not letting voltage from the stator get thru to the charging system) or you have a bad stator (not making any AC voltage for the regulator to regulate).

 

If you drop the regulator and disconnect the plug, with the bike running you can check for voltage between the circuits, if you have equal voltage ( something north of 16 volts) on all 3 possible combinations (1 to 2, 1 to 3, 2 to 3) then the stator is ok.

 

The most likely candidate is the regulator, they are known for failing. You can pick up a used on off eBay for amour $35.00 .

 

Good luck

 

And thank you for your advice.
