charging problem

Post by beanyzxr »

hi folks, well heres the problem, bike was running and charging and was putting out 14.5v @ 4000rpm, checked it the other day and was putting out 17v@ 4000rpm then a couple of days later checked it again and was putting out 12.7v @4000rpm and not charging. so changed reg/rec, cdi, battery and it still aint charging. any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

check the 3 phase wires going into the reg rec (these are on AC with a multimeter, quite likely its your alternator, you`ll see the plug that goes into the rec from the generator casing side of the bike.

Quite likely your generator windings are burnt out, or you have replaced with another dodgy reg/rec. The low voltage across the battery makes i tlook like a reg/rec or generator or wiring between the two the possible issue.
