My battery is hot

[Hardtail]

My battery is hot and not being charged, Stator Papers?

Start checking the system. Also how old is it? Usually batteries dont cook until they're receiving a lot of volts. Its possible you might have scrapped a battery from a bad R/R pumping out too many volts.

Simple test for common problem…

It's being overcharged because the R/R has gone bad. Check the charging voltage at the battery at low and high RPM. It's got to be 14.5 to 15 volts.
See the Stator Papers for more detailed guidance.

It is only reading 12.5 volts with a new Batt at idle and the same at 5000 rpms I checked this at the battery leads off the battery posts.

Do all your tests. A spike in voltage can get very costly if left unchecked and thats your problem. Have you checked your battery itself? water level, bad from old age?
