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...

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.

rewire/clean up help

Ok guys, got a new stator and regulator/rectifier for my bike. Got digging deeper into the wiring, found there was 2 regulators wired up lol. A regulator/rectifier and the original regulator were wired in parallel with each other. Could this have been the problem with my battery not charging? Next question, the wiring diagram shows the one wire of the stator going through the switch then back to the regulator/rectifier, is this necessary and should the red wire off the regulator/rectifier be fused?

I think I am going to start a personal policy of not offering any help until YOU TELL US WHAT BIKE YOU ARE WORKING ON.

Yes, it really does matter.

OK, now that we know what we are talking about, ...

Are you SURE that you had two "regulators" wired in? I ask that because in the earlier systems like yours, there were, indeed, two separate items. The three wires that come from the stator head to the Rectifier, which looks a lot like a later Rectifier/Regulator (R/R). Before the wires get to the Rectifier, ONE of the leads is also connected to a Regulator. That Regulator will intermittantly shunt that one lead's output to ground to reduce the total output.

The recommendation currently (pardon the pun) is to replace BOTH of those units with a series-type R/R. The popular choice right now seems to be a Polaris unit, which will cost about $80 shipped.

Does the red output wire need to be fused? In the stock wiring harness, I believe it is, but it's not real apparent. There is a fuse between the output of the Rectifier and the battery, which is really all it needs.

Isn't it FUN getting used to the new forum format?

For the area that used to be called "User CP", look in the upper-right corner for the word "Settings" and click on it.
All the items you will be looking for will be down the left column.

Ok went through the stator papers again and found my problem, had to rewire the positive side between the battery and the rr. Next question would be my voltage on the battery is hovering between 14.0 and 14.3 no matter what the rpm is, is this normal?
 
As long as the voltage goes down at least a little bit when the RPM = ZERO, you are looking great.

.
 
At idle it bounces between 13.5 and 14.0/14.3, but mostly around the 14.0 point.
