Engine Earth Strap - Gen 1 Fazer - Running Voltage

[BSR67]

@BSR67 there isn’t one. 

If the charging is low then check the connector for the reg / rec which can corrode and cause a voltage drop. If that checks out then you may need a new reg / rec, they’re not a bad unit but failures do occur given the age of the bikes.

The losses in the wiring loom can be fairly significant so rule that out first. Some people run new cabling back to the battery to help.

Thanks Trebus.

Tempting to do a MOSFET upgrade as I once did on a former VFR800 VTEC (very weak charging systems/high rate of generator failure due to crap R/R). I'll check the connector from the Reg/Rect. on the Fazer.

The battery to engine earth has no resistance whatsoever so is all good.

I'll update on what I find.
