Re: Regulator chat thread.
Set it to AC-Voltage and see what it is putting out, you should have some decent voltage there. 70V-AC at 5krpm or more.

Re: Regulator chat thread.
From my understanding, which aint much, you completely disconnect the rectifier from the bike. The diode function outputs voltage to see how much it takes to overcome diode potential.
Mines are all out of spec. No tested the alternators output on mine yet, as above it should be 70 Last edited by beabert; 03-02-10 at 11:00 PM. |

Re: Regulator chat thread.
I don't trust diode test of Reg-Rec. I've had a couple check out tip-top and be completely knackered.
See what's going into it and what's coming out of it, if those aren't the problem then you know it is the RR.

Re: Regulator chat thread.
I see where your coming from, especially because of how hot they get.
Mine checks out knackered to start with and outputting to high of a charge, so im confident its gone tits up, not to mentioned a knackered battery. Last edited by beabert; 03-02-10 at 11:06 PM. |

Re: Regulator chat thread.
Almost certainly
 There would have to be a very wierd problem to get an over-volt situation with something other than the reg-rec at fault.

Re: Regulator chat thread.
I have had no end of weird problems in my 25 yeas on this planet lol. I dont fo a minute expect everything to go as planned, some git has probably added extra windings lol.

when you say "check all the wiring voltage drops" what does that mean to someone who has never touched wiring before? Thanks |

Re: Regulator chat thread.
I think what he is getting at is if the rectifier is recieving a lower voltage than normal, then the voltage levels across the board will be all uniformly lower in all tests (light on etc), and if the voltage levels are all over the place then its more likely to be the rectifier.
Check the voltages entering the rectifier first ill post a picture of the page from the manual, one sec....
