I've perused the stator papers (still in process of *understanding* them, haha) and want to be proactive about this now that I've finished some other work on the bike. I plan to install a new series R/R at some point in the not too distant future, wanting to assess the condition of the stator before then too.

    Key Off = 12.51
    Key On = 12.05
    Idle =12.48
    2500 rpm (approx) = 12.80
    5000 rpm (approx) = 13.12
    Key Off =12.68

    Cheers.

    There are no load stator tests you can do but they are not definitive so I'd go straight to the SH775 and then see how the charging system performs. If you look around a little you can find a simplified wiring diagram which may help you install the new R/R. If the charging voltage is still low then you can go after the stator next.

    To measure is to know.

      Thanks all, as always. I'll start shopping the SH775 (and continue cleaning connections...). meantime great ride this evening in the now cool Northeast fall weather.
