Default Re: Riding with headlights on kills battery

Good morning all.


Often in cases where the bike charges ok with the lights off, & not with them on, one finds that the alternator stator is shorting to earth.
Make sure you check for continuity between the three output wires of the alternator & earth. You should have infinite resistance.


Cheers.
