    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Original Post: Stator/RR/Battery...again... (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/viewtopic.php?t=33845)

I got my new Electrix R/R and installed it based on the recommendations in this forum. I attached all three legs of the stator to the R/R, attached the ground directly to the battery's (-) and attached the R/R's output to the (+) terminal on the starter relay.

After all installed, I retested the system and I am a little confused. I have two voltmeters, one mounted on the bike permanently and a RadioShack multimeter. At idle, both meters read 13.8v but at 5K rpm the bike?s volt meter has 14.8v and the multimeter has 15.15v at the battery terminals. FYI, the bike's volt meter is wired into the fuse block.

My question is this: How worried should I be about the variance between meters and if the 15.15v reading is correct, is a charge rate of 15.15v dangerous/harmful to the charging system?

Thanks for you help!
 
15.15 volts is NOT good for your battery.


Get another meter and check it again.
 
Did you have the lights on when you checked it? As long as it doesn't go any higher chalk it up to meter error

I did have the lights on and on high. I've taken several readings since my original post and none where above 15.1v. At idle, the bike is charging at 13.8v and from 2500 up to 7000 rpm the system holds steady at 15.1v (on the multimeter) reguardless of lights or any other electrical draw. The bike's volt meter holds at 14.8v.

I am going to borrow a friend's multimeter tomorrow to confirm my original readings.
