    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.

I dont get it

just went through the stator papers, first of all my stator failed the resitance to ground test, but I went ahead and did the r/r section also. On the diode function is says to disconnect the R/R before, but how can it test a voltage drop to the stator if they arent even connected, the meter would just send out random readings.
 
There is never voltage TO the stator. The stator produces AC voltage and sends it to the R/R which rectifies the AC to 12v DC to charge the battery.
The bike runs using 12v DC current.

right, but the purpose of the diode function on a multi meter is to measure voltage drop across a circuit. The stator papers said to disconnect the R/R so I dont see how it could get voltage drop to anything else on the bike. Unless I was reading it wrong... It said to measure across one stator each time wire to the red lead on the R/R
 
I would disconnect and check the 3 stator wires resistance to the bike frame, engine or whatever works for a ground. If its not shorted (0 ohms) switch the meter to AC and fire up the bike. Check AC voltage between the 3 stator wires (still disconnected) If ya get some ac voltage (30-50) I would say its good.
 
I went through all the stator papers, the resitance to ground check was bad probably .5 ohms :/ The AC voltage test was fine. I also went past that part and tested the R/R thats what im dealing with now.
