HI Malc,

yeah have tried that and no difference.

And now (drum role) bike sounds like its on 2 cylinders and sounds awful, so think its' time to take it in and let someone have a ganders. 


2
oddly enough i have noticed the engine breaking is not as sharp as it was and the very faint (almost like a turbo spinning up) kinda noise on deceleration.

3
charging system is working as it should with all the tests i can throw at it,

appears to be a drain of some kind, about 1.5 volts dc (there about's) best reading i can get with the engine in idle and then rev'd to  and idled is about 13.2 volts with lights, fans, dash all fuses but ignition out of the bike.
have put fuses back in one by one to check for big changes, can't find the draw, i'm swaying towards the fuel pump or ignition coils (which will be fund to get at)

the best i would get at the start was 12.7 and after disconnecting and cleaning contacts, plugs and abit of wd40 that's the best i can get, so for the moment as long as i don't stop for red light too long the battery is getting topped up, but it's not ideal.

only thing left to check are plugs directly under airbox, ignition coils and will figure out how to check the fuel pump.

4
will do definitely go through that, just odd that im not getting the full 14v at the battery, gotta be missing something obvious 

5
i have continuity between the rectifier live and the battery live, and rectifier earth to main earth point on engine, same with the battery.
also checked the continuity from the rectifier to the battery, even the main fuse in and out and earth to fuse box, all seem good.

6
Bypassed the Plug from the rectifier and no difference.

7
im reading a voltage off the battery and when i start the bike the voltage starts to drop, slowly, as i increases revs the voltage goes up bu no where near what it should be.

i have checked the output at the rectifier and its bang on but there's an issue between the rectifier and the battery (just a guess) i have checked all the wiring and connections, can't see anything obvious.
i have a spare harness (ebay) and may butcher the plug to the rectifier from it and hope i have enough spare cable on it to run direct to the battery, see if its the plug.

Hi Everyone,


I'm new here and thought first i should say hello all.


About 2 weeks ago i notices my head lights pulsing when the bike was warming up, very slight but you could see it.
i checked the battery and gave it a charge, a few days later the same thing and found the battery was not being charged so went down the stator route, the stator itself was not putting out any voltage so replaced it.
but... same issue, after checking the outputs of the rectifier i replaced that and the battery as it was a bit old.


And here i am, new stator which is putting 72v AC and the rectifier is putting out 14.2volts DC at 2.5k RPM.
i have pulled the tank off and tested the ground cable from the rectifier and the battery, cant see any damaged or warn wiring, rectifier plus seems ok, i get a reading from the battery via the lead but when it's all connected up and bike is at 2.5k RPM i'm only seeing a rise of .50Volts DC and at idle im loosing 0.03 Volts every few seconds as if there's a drain. i'm stumped only thing i can actually find thats not right is the resistance off the 3 white wires from the stator is 0.8 ohms.


i'm outta ideas. anyone wiser than me have any clue?
