electric experts: testing and trouble shooting
« on: September 15, 2010, 06:43:32 PM »
the battery is fine and has been tested.
my bike dies after running it drains it. i tested the voltage while running and it was always 12.5 from idle (1000rpm) to 5000rpms... no increases and needle jumps...

does that tell me any thing in the chain of the charging system?
stator, regulator, rectifier???

what else need to be done? tested to identify the source of the issue. 
i wd40'd up that stator cover in order to take that off to test that tomorrow.

ideas? or quick tests or items to check?
