Default Re: Fault diagnosis - help desperately needed pls..

Right, update!!

New reg/rec is on. Battery off the bike showing 12v. At idle 13v. At 2k, 3k, 4k and5k rpm 13volts.
Unfortunately my multimeter doesnt seem to give decimals for dc voltage so figures arent totally precise.

Surely it should be charging at 14+ to keep battery properly charged? Or is 13 enough.....

Thanks, kj xx

When i changed my battery and reg/rec on my sv for new i was still getting low voltages and after loads of testing and faffing it was down to a bad earth. Dont know if thats your problem but its worth a check.
