DRZ flat battery, charging questions.

[joshwalker094]

At idle it's reading 12.33 but going down slowly, and at high revs, it peaked at 12.50 ish and was going up slowly :/

Yeah you have a charging issue, it should be closer to 14v when the engine is running.

You'll need to check reg /rec and the stator readings, I'm fairly sure your stator has failed as it does on many drz's.

It's reading 12.46 when bike not running. How do I go about checking these other parts? Any pictures to help me out.

Battery wasn't charged fully as I only have 4a charger, like I said when I took it off the charger it was about 12.56 volts or abouts

This is what your stator looks like.

You'll need a manual mate, or I might be able to give you the readings they should be.

I've got mine in bits today, doing a few small jobs so when I've finished I'll sort them out for you.

Where on the bike? Does it mean dropping the oil?

Some will come out but not too much, I didn't drain mine tbh.

It's located on left hand side as you sit on bike, towards the bottom of the engine, it's the biggest cover there, you can't miss it lol

So it's the whole side that has to come off by the look of it, I don't have Haynes for the drz, so if you can give me the readings or just tell me where I need to put multimeter and I'll give you my readings.

Yep that's the one, the three cables that come from there go to the incoming side of the reg/rec.

Each of these has to be tested individually and between each other.
