    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.

K im doin the stator pages and it sayd that i have a bad connection because my ohm rating is too big. also when the bike is running, the papers say like 14 volts, but im only gettin close to 12. i've tried cleaning connections, doesn't really do anything, whats a quick fix, or should i just buy new stator and rectifier,
 
WHich step of stator paper fault finding chart are you on when you say ohms are too high?

Have you got to the step (last part of test B) where you disconnect the stator from the R/R and run bike and check voltage output from stator? That is the big test that tells you the most about the condition of the stator.

Well, yes, replacing everything would be a quick fix, but that is assuming the problem is either the stator or the R/R. But that is also the most expensive fix. And possibly the problem is a bad connection or bad ground somewhere, so replacing things may not fix anything. That is what some of the other steps in stator papers fault finding chart are trying to determine. So, what step are you on that you say the ohms are too high? And how much too high is the ohm reading?

i don't get how u guys get it over 12 volts... when trying to do the papers, i don't know if im doing it right or i may be missing something cuz everyone talks about 13 to 14 volts. but im at around 12
 
Charging systems put out more than 12 volts. High 13's low 14's works out. Check your car they put out over 14 it is just the way it works.

If a batterry is fully charged it is up around 13 Volts. at 12 you are running on a fully charged battery
