    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...

    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.

850 not charging properly

Forum Newbie
tried searching for a previous thread on this but found nothing exactly like this problem so please bear with me,battery was not charging , tested stator while running, at 5000rpm had 65 vlt on one leg 12 volts on another and 35 volts on last leg,while bike off ,the ohms read open circuit on all three wires, was told stator was bad replaced with new ricks stator , now ohms read infinite and voltage numbers are almost identical to original readings, i used 2 different testers and extra set of eyes to double check my numbers, if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it
 
What method or instructions are you going through when performing the tests.

The ohm tests are done with the bike off and the stator disconnected with the meter leads attached to a pair of the stator wires (A-B, B-C, A-C)

No-Load output voltage check is done in the same manner with the meter on AC volts and the engine running at 5k rpm. Needless to say be very careful around AC voltage.
 
did the ohm test with bike off and reg disconnected and no load test with engine running menter on ac and reg still disconnected and running at 5000 rpm
 
If you post the results of a quick test Might be able to steer you in the right direction as far as diagnosing the charging system

That means the stator is toast.. That also doesn't mean that you don't have a bad regulator also. If it has the original regulator I would get a Honda replacement off ebay for $25 just for insurance
