Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Yep. My previous one had a Tourmax Reg Rec hard wired in. The current one has the stock one that I'll change out at some point.
Tested the charging system on the DRZ. New battery is very low again. I've got a feeling the stator isn't great. Getting resisitance on a static test, but not the numbers the service manual wants. Also not getting any voltage when engine is running from the stator side of the plug. Bit odd as there should be something. Recharging the battery and then starting again. I want to open up the cover and loctite all the bolts that notoriously come loose and kill the stator on these bikes. There's always something in every bike that is a known needed fix.

It's also quite common on the VFR forums for people to install a voltmeter. At least you get some warning that way. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

...wait, yes I am. If you've got a magnet spinning next to an intact coil (with no breaks and not shorted/grounded) it will produce a voltage.

It also helps when you're starting the bike up for the first time in a few weeks and not sure what state the battery is in! |

I'm getting some sort of reading now. My multimeter only has two ac settings though, neither of which are in the right range for a decipherable reading. It jumps around a lot too.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
The stator actually looks ok... doesn't it?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
So service manual states resistance on the stator should be 0.5 to 1.25 ohms each coil. I'm getting 1.5 , 1.5 and 1.6 on each of the three coils. Is that a sign it gone then? Something is definitely up although it all looks fine.
