Topic: Headlight drains battery

I found a cool charging mod for my CB450K6 here http://www.hondatwins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=6185.

Not sure if anything like that exists for the fours.

It doesn't.

That's good to know.  Even more impetus to make sure you have your charging system working as good as possible.

only work on simpel 1/2/3 fase generator...can be done on yamaha fs1 and honda cd 50. and other moped liked small mc.if they are used in city traffic..but the battery have to be kontroled often..you boil the battery vhen driving NO. light on

I know your problems already been solved but i had issues with charging due to a dented dynamo cover which in turn had the field coil tweaked inside causing contact to the rotor. did every single electrical test known to man for these bikes and came up with a defective field coil a couple times and a couple other times it tested good.. measured the difference in depths with a straight edge across the gasket surface and shimmed it straight, adjusted the regulator gap and taa-daa good as new-ish ; )

Long story short if your dynamos scratched/dented check the gizzards.
