    Posplayr, any ideas of where the contact could be being made? the wires dont seem to have any breaks in the insulation, plus im having the same issue with all three stators. is there supposed to be some form of rubber isolation washer between that stator itself ans the cover it mounts to?

        UPDATE!!! My charging system if functional! My Dumb self was testing the stator incorrectly. I have 45AC Volts at Idle across the phases 75 @ 5K RPM , an OL omh reading between the individual legs and ground. 14.5 volt out of the R/R at 5K RPM! She is road worthy again! Thank you all for the help!

            What were you doing wrong? If there is a wrong way, I'll probably find it. Better to learn from someone else's experience.

                Yea, this last report is pretty unhelpful as to what was really wrong

                    It was explained in post #26.

                            He was not measuring leg-to-leg on the stator. He was measuring leg-to-ground. He even addressed it specifically to you.

                                Steve, If you look at Post #30 you will see I read and responded to that same post.

                                To clarify the confusion, the question I have is "How after replacing the stator twice (three stators total) and confirming a valid 120VAC measurement could the OP have been suffering from operator error ?"

                                As it stands, I get the impression that there was never anything wrong with his bike to start with.

                                So how is it that all these measurements were somehow performed incorrectly and nothing really changed and the bike suddenly now works?
