'Tour Max' reg/rec

Hi all, my R/R is labelled "Tour Max" - is that OE, or has some previous owner already sorted it?

Cheers,

Dave.

Not OE

Sweet - one less thing to worry about I guess Thanks

Nothing is bulletproof. Cheap chinese aftermarket may be worse than stock.

I guess you're right. It must have been done for a reason I suppose. I'll pop a multimeter on there anyway, see what's what

Ta,

My cheapo multimeter doesn't seem to have an Ammeter (unless I'm just missing it!), anyway, voltages are:

DC at the battery:
- Lights off:
- - 1500RPM = 13.8v
- - 5000RPM = 13.6v
- Main bean:
- - 1500RPM = 13.4v
- - 5000RPM = 12.6v *

Unregulated no load AC = 80v @ 5000RPM (Haynes says '60v +')

* Haynes says to check with main beam on at 5000RPM and the spec range is 13.5-15.5v so I'm a bit low but is it a problem? I have no particular electrical problems that I know of, though she sucks down several hours of juice from the optimate once every few weeks. During the winter I was a little concerned about a bad smell when using the heated jacket and gloves, but I guess it was something else (the jacket bedding in, ACF50 burning off or something) that was making the stink, cos the wiring around the reg/rec all looks good.

Cheers,

D

Tourmax are good aftermarket if its any piece of mind,was dubious when I fitted mine but asked around a bit

Sweet, I think I'm gonna assume I'm fine unless I get any actual signs of a problem, it's not mega mega low after all.

Im no expert and im still learning but i would say that you have a problem there and its undercharging, voltage dropping down as the bikes revved up.

I would be happily corrected though

Something is wrong.

Check for orrible connectors, if none then reg rec is no good
