High Idle Voltage

Hey Everyone,

This past winter i spent sometime replacing the R/R and Stator. I bought both the stator and R/R from eBay and did check that both parts were compatible with my bike.

So i finally finished the repairs last week, and as i was going through the stator papers checking everything, the stator passed and i was checking on the R/R. when i started it up and let it idle the voltage at the battery jumped to 17 volts!

The R/R passed all the other tests but I'm at a loss of why the voltage is so high.

I did some lurking around old posts and i found out that the reason that would be happening would be a faulty Regulator component of the R/R, would that be a good starting point returning the R/R and getting one from RMStator?

Or can anyone think of a "differential diagnosis"

Thank you doctors.

Yes, that's too high. What kind of R/R is it? does it have sense wire? - if so, did you hook it up ? pic might help
 
So i just got a new multimeter, the old one was giving some faulty readings on other things, so i started it up and the reading was fine.

I have yet to go through the stator papers again and double check everything but once i do i should be fine.

check the battery on the meter. when it's low, everything goes whacky.
 
Sounds like either your R/R is bad or you wired it improperly. I strongly suggest feeding the stator wires directly into the R/R, bypassing the factory wiring. For the R/R output (+ wire) you can feed that directly into the fuse box (using the existing harness wire) or run it to the battery with an inline fuse (easy and reliable). The R/R negative should go directly to a solid ground point on the frame, or the battery. Do not use the battery box or similar as Suzuki often did since the ground path is bad. Hook everything up like this and check your voltages again. Needless to say, if your R/R has a sense wire that you didn’t hook up, that changes everything so tend to that first.

If you need a new R/R, this style of FET R/R is high quality… http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Forem...ycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_1730wt_982
 
i got a new multimeter because the one i was using was giving faulty readings on things i knew should be right. so i got a new one and re did the tests and they all passed with flying colors

so im proud to say that im all good and running!

and its a nice day outside.

Good going- it pays to doublecheck meters- I have had a few fail, but usually by my own abuse. Don't check bug zappers.
