OK so here is the update: I commoned the two red/white wires and soldered a 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp fuse directly to battery. Same results as vfrcapn, I gained 0.80 volt. So at idle I was at 13.5v and now at 14.3v at 3-5000rpm I was at 13.2 and now at 14v steady...at the battery...previous results were taken from the new volt meter...I'm losing about .30v from resistance to the meter From reading some of the posts i have seen the comment that if your charging voltage drops when increasing revs that the stator is toast...I'm not so sure about that (please correct me if I am wrong) it seems that the bike may be charging more at idle to compensate for electrical loads ...when I tested the stator the resistance was .5 ohms equally and no short or partial to ground...I also did all the tests from electrosport and everything tested o.k. I can only assume that this is normal...I'm getting a steady 14v at any rpm above 3k so it is charging...I will leave it and see how it goes. I hope this will help someone with the same doubts I had that the stator or R/R were faulty... ***Update - After some more reading it looks like the voltage drop when revving is possibly due to the increase in demand I.E: fuel injectors and ignition...I also have yet to install the tail lights and only one of the old headlights is working...haven't really tested the charging under full load.

This is why I love this site...thanks to zam70 for starting this post and thank you vfrcapn for posting your results. I did a check on my charging system and with a brand new battery I was resting at 12.7 V and idling at 13.2 V at 5k rpm voltage dropped to 13 or 12.9 V. I followed the extensive stator / R/R checks from Electrosport and everything checked out as it should have. I will try your method above and post my results...was already looking for a new R/R and stator...hope this will provide results...Cheers!!

Thank you for sharing Slammer.. Just curious as I will be replacing front and rear brake pads. Has anyone tried resurfacing or cleaning their rotors when changing their pads? My rotors are smooth but they are colored from regular wear and I want to get them shiny again. Appreciate any advice from those who may have tried this. Thanks, Rovari
