[bikerjaws01]

the charge from my reg/rec on idle is 13.7 but drops right down when i rev the bike, it has new reg/rec and stator. any ideas welcome. thanks JAWS.

The only other link in the charging 'chain' is the battery. How old is it? Is it full of water? How well charged is it? If the battery has been discharged and sat for a while before charging, much of its capacity has been lost. Charge it with a small (1 1/2 to 2 amp) charger overnight. Let it sit for an hour or so after disconnecting the charger, then test your charging output again. Let us know what you find.

ill have to try that on mon as im away over the weekend, the bat is only couple of weeks old but its only 8 ampere not 14, dont know if that will make a difference or not, although i did test the charge comin out of the r/r without it being connected to the batt. i will let u know the outcome anyway. thanks JAWS.

If the r/r is not connected to the battery, it will have no reference for regulation. It MUST have a good connection to both sides of the battery to work properly and be measured correctly.
