    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.

Leaving work couple of days ago and bike barely started (battery almost dead) Managed to get home with no juice to spare. Went through the tests from stator pages. Wires going to r/r from stator were melted. Replaced all burnt connections. Recharged battery and had it tested at parts store (tested good under load). Got about 13-13.2 volts at 2500 rpm, and about only 12.8-13. volts at 5000. Ohms for each of three tests on stator wires showed 1.1 on each and infiniite on resistance test on each wire. Got 70-72 volts at 4000 rpm test on each wire. On r/r test of red wire at idle got 0.3 volts. Cleaned or replace every connection I could And of course the blk/wh. wire on r/r is connected directly to battery. So I'm hoping the stator is good with result of tests, and I would assume the r/r is bad. Are my thoughts correct? terrylee:(
 
Hi,

I would concur with your diagnosis. It seems the active stator output and passive tests are OK. That leaves your r/r unit in need of replacement.

Although, I have had a stator start to fail once it gets good and warm. It would test fine in the garage but still leave me with a weak battery when I got home from work.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
