Gen1 Generator

What voltage DID you see before you revved and what voltage DID you say after you revved?

I saw 12.7 V at the battery before I revved and 12.7 V after I revved. That is why I said I did not see any increase in voltage when the engine was revved.

An additional test you can try: What is the voltage across the output of the rectifier with the bike running and what is the voltage at the battery terminals. Any significant difference would suggest a fault in the cable or connections between the two.

I then connected the three white wires from the stator to the rectifier and measured the red and black coming out of the rectifier and the reading was around 1.8V. The battery showed 12.7V

Based on your suggestion it would seem I have a cable or connector failure between the rectifier and the battery. If it is a direct connection between the two I can run some temporary cables to bypass the existing cables and connectors. Can you confirm if this is the case?
