Member Contributer gig Posted April 13, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted April 13, 2020 New battery, thought I had a parasitic drain, not losing much daily. Then checked charging volts while running, idle in 12s, up to 13.05 at 2000-2500, over that then back into the 12s. Stator correct? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelman Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 test it for ac output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suspect you have "parasitic" current drain? You shouldn't be seeing greater than 1.2ma (amp meter inbetween battery neg terminal and neg lead) ignition switched off. If you do have parasitic drain and because your charge voltage is low, this could mean a faulty R/R. Pulling main fuse B will isolate the R/R then recheck your current drain. Otherwise as Squirrelbrains suggested you could measure the Stator AC output or you could do an ohm meter check of the 3 stator output wires measured to frame, you must have No continuity between the wires and frame, this is generally the way the stator fails, output wires short to frame. Check you have low resistance between each of the 3 output stator wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ducnut Posted April 13, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted April 13, 2020 R/R is most likely the culprit, based on voltage decreasing with RPM. Order a Roadstercycle SH847 kit. https://www.roadstercycle.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run "the drill" ... gimme numbers That said, the 5th gen OEM R/Rs do have a high fallout and the dropping voltage at revs is a clue.... ---------- BTW - I see you have your bike listed as a VFR848 ----What's the stuff on that? thxz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gig Posted April 22, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks Mello, its got a new battery, newish R/R and wiring. Ill do the drill today, and post the numbers 848 rear wheel, eccentric, brake conversion Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
