    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

Good Morning
I have just returned from a 1500 mile tour and had to fill the battery each day.
When I got home I checked the stator and it was putting out 80 volts on all 3 legs.
The resistance reading on the r/r was 12 ohms on all three legs of it. The shop manual tells me that it is the r/r if the reading is not 7-8 ohms.
Where is the best place to purchase one?
Thankyou in advance.

I would put a multimeter on it at 4-5k rpm to see if your voltage just keeps climbing up over 16-17 volts, if it's boiling your battery over. If so, then check your wiring for the aftermath...melted connections, battery life may now be shortlived after cooking so long, headlight bulbs shortlived and soon burning out, etc....and I'll second the pitch for Duanage's r/r replacement.
 
I did measure the voltage at the battery at 5K and it registered around 17V.
I have sent a message to duanage and am waiting to hear back.
Thanks
 
I must say, though, Congrats to you on checking your battery and adding water every day. :clap: :clap:

I'm afraid that most of us would have added water once, then ignored it for a while, thinking that it was OK. :oops:

Not sure how you are measuring that 12 ohms on the r/r, but also be sure to check all of your electrical connections for the r/r to make sure they are clean and tight. Undercharging is typical of poor connections, so your overcharging is probably a bad r/r. I will second (or is that third by now) the suggestion to contact Duaneage for a replacement unit.
