What's that relevant to? It doesn't say anything about resistance ratings or anything.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yeah but still doesn't reference any resistance values. What kind of resistance ranges are we talking?
I don't know how much resistance.
You will be ahead of the game if you clean all the connections between the R/R power output and the battery. Since your bike doesn't have a fuse box, that should be easy. Once the bike is up and running, check the voltage drop per the attached link.

Alright, will do
The max current from the r/r is 15 amps. If there is a 0.25v drop what is the resistance?
0.25/15=0.016 ohms what's the resolution of your VOM?

resolution of my volt meter? Probably like 20x50 pixels?Similar to my old cell phone- very hard to see pics. Anyways very few meters read low ohms, like.016 ohms so forget resistance and look for voltage drops which even cheap meters measure well.

Lol
Yeah, true. Thanks
I moved the connections to straight into the voltage regulator/rectifier and shrink tubed all connections. Now I'm just waiting for my gel cell battery to recharge at Advance Auto Parts and I'll fire it up; I have to wait til after 4pm EST for it to finish charging though.
Thanks for all the help guys
Is that pixels per character or complete screen resolution? Any by the wzy the answer to my question is that your VOM probable only has 0.1 ohms resolution with probably 0.2-0.3 ohms resistance in the probes so you are not very likely to be able to measure 0.016 ohms. What you could try is get a meter with a computer interface so you can display the data on a large screen then perhaps it will be more clear.
