I'd be interested if we got something going.  :)

That's what I was thinking as well...  I'll double check with my voltmeter.  Read online that I can check by starting and revving the engine, seeing where the voltage is at. 

Any opinions on that method?

You test VAC between the 3 legs. You want to see 20vac at idle and 50vac+ at 5k rpm across all 3 (A to B, B to C, A to C)

Thank you. 

I actually went to the local auto store to check my battery this morning, and they advised it's time to change...  Weird, as I've had no problem starting with it. 

Will start with that and retest everything. 

Appreciate your help. 

I tested my stator this morning, per instructions found elsewhere.

Battery checked at 12.8, after full charge off the bike and left hooked up to the bike overnight.

Ohms reading is -00.0 across all terminals.  

I have not found anything online about that reading...  Am I doing something wrong or does this mean the stator is toast?  Bike is 2000 VFR with less than 17k miles.

Thanks for any input.

Edit...  Just realized this is a 2013 thread.  :P
