that's a nice bike Markus, I got that same Franks German tail on my 12R.. I love what you did
still got BOTH Buells and running them several times a week.. I Really been thinking about a Harley though.. I like that Fat Bob and I like the new Sportser S.. just a a bar hopper. The Fat Bob I...
I took the old VR and hit it with connector cleaner, both connectors... plugged it in and 14.4! . I got my deltron battery tender pigtail in there now and last reading I took off of it was 13.8V
...
sonofabitch ... I plug in my old VR before pulling the one off my 07 and the old one is charging at 14.4 V.... plug in my new eBay copy and it's 12.5l... plug in my old buell VR and 14.4!! must...
,I'm gonna try and plug in my VR that's on my 07 and if it fixes it we will know..
but continuity shows why the stator isn't putting out power.. mine IS putting out the power it needs so continuity is ok, or that was my understanding of the test..
I didn't do continuity, just saw that the output was good , I figured the continuity was just to isolate if the stator or rotor was bad.. and if total output was good then it was all good. No?
I...
I'm getting confused.. at rest , reading across my battery terminals is 13.1V.. at idle its 12.6V if you rev it up to 4000rpm it doesnt go up much maybe 12.7V... some guys are saying the battery is...
ok I was on the wrong connector.. I'm on the 3 pin connector and all combos of 1 , 2 and 3 give 20V at idle then jumps up to 30-something at 2000 rpm and around 50V at 3000 rpm.. I don't see why...
wait a min, connectors on a sportser and a XB are different I was checking off the 2 pin connector.. the manual says check output and resistance off a 3 - pin connector so I guess I was getting that...
ok I swap all relays around and no change..so they are all good relays. I put my volt meter on AC and take a reading right at stator output, it's just two contacts in the connector.. I get 26V at...
ok thanks man .. I swap out relays once holidays are over.. I was getting ready to check connectors and start looking for damaged wires , I think my stator is ok actually.. I didn't hear any pops...
ok Stator AC output was 25.5 to 26V .. my understanding of the checklist is that if total output passes the test that all.the other rotor and continuty checks are unneeded .. am I correct?
the...
yeah I just threw a VR in there bc it's cheap and easy and the one that was in there was from 2003 anyway.. time for a change.
I was watching the sportster videos I'll.do the stator tests next.. ...
I'll read on testing that relay then I'll go in and get a reading right off that stator and see..
fuse coming off.the battery in that little box in the tail looks good to me.. it's 30 amp.. every fuse in the fuse box is good. I guess I can check that battery relay
yeah some places are saying 13.1 at idle or greater at the battery terminals... mine stays a steady 12.6 and its got a brand new VR on it.. doesn't matter what RPM its pulling it stays the same.... ...
ok I'm studying up on it.. seems like they are checking at the stator itself where the VR plugs in.. I guess readings at the battery terminals don't mean anything or they would be doing that bc it's...
I'm just asking if 12.5v at the battery terminals at idle is normal..
yeah probably a relay .. only 30 amp fuse I saw was coming off the battery cables...
ok I got a new regulator on there, easy job... voltage at the terminals remains the same. 12.9 when the bike...
I found 2 fuses , one js a red 30amp fuse coming off the battery , it's good.. the other is in the R dash fusebox on the shifter side, its a 3 prong grey box.. is there a way to check that? you...
so what you're saying is that my Stator may actually be putting out good voltage but the VR isn't sending tnat power back to the battery to keep it charged? when the bike is off I'm getting 13V at...
on the knock off 3 phase , what do I need to search for? sportster 3 phase 2004 ? something like that?
the bike is old but it's only like 20k miles...
I thought that if the VR was bad, you'd get crazy voltage readings at the battery terminals going up and down as you blipped the throttle? no?
