    What Voltage?

    Thanks to all who replied with my rotor problem ! I managed to find a used 12 pole rotor to go with my new 18 pole 'Electrex' stator, i fitted new bits to the bike (GS850) , it all seems OK , but readings seem low !
    55 Volts from stator, and 13.5 volts at battery. Do you think this is sufficiant ? at 5000 rpm.

    Thanks !

    What are the readings taken at..idle? Run it up to around 4500 and see what the readings are then..The faster she spins the more the output..at least as i understand things!!!

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      you should not use a 12 pole rotor with a 16 pole stator you will get a low charging voltage. On the other hand it might gaurantee longgevity becaue it is performing so poorly. Of course at 13.5 you will need to keep it on a charger as a that is barely enough to charge.

        I think he meant to say that he got the rotor designed to go with the 18 pole stator. Technically, it has 12 poles in it ( 6 pairs of N/S magnets ), but this post is confusing in light of his previous post regarding his original rotor designed to match his 12 pole stator.

          Hi,

          Are all of your electrical connections clean?



          Thank you for your indulgence,
