Default Re: Battery voltages

That's good news.Did and clean the Large multi-connector pins and sockets between the R/R and Stator?Any corrosion should be removed.R/R units are a very robust device and under normal conditions can last many years.

I have some that are over 35 years old and still working however it's the Multi-connector and corrosion there that causes the most failures in them.

Yep given a clean(didn't need much), all good now

Nice one

Mine are treated with ACF50 and any time I need to access the rear fairing I'll check and clean it again and or next Spring as part of my,"Pre-Season" servicing where I go through the electrics as well as everything else that's needed.

Added to my mental list of jobs to do If we get a spell of icy weather, my commute isn't rideable so I can take the time to get stuck into neglected stuff. Throttle body assy looks a bit manky but functional, oil cooler and hoses could do with a freshen up kinda stuff

ACF50 is great on hoses.Keeps them from decaying and is great on the clamps as well

i found something that ACF-50 does not like... latex. i wrapped a connector in a latex glove with some acf50 and it turned the glove into jelly within a week.
