    Help with the stator papers

    So my problem is that the battery is not reading over 12.5v @ 5k rpm. I just got a new battery, so I have eliminated that as an issue. I'm going through the stator papers and the two manuals I have to hunt down the issue. I'm sure its the R/R, but looking at the wiring on this bike I'd really like to eliminate that as the issue before buying parts. I was wondering if anyone who knows how to deal with this will jump on skype or AIM video chat and walk though this with me?

    okay, so the stator tested bad, around 20 volts. Is there anything I could check, or should I just order the part now?

      You could go ahead and take off the stator cover and look at it - if it's that bad it might be a nice shade of burnt.

        You need to measure the stator with it disconnected.. Measure AC VOLTAGE
        should be minimum 60VAC on all three legs.
        Make sure your on the AC scale

          yea, it was only showing 20V AC @5K/rpm

            Hi,

            I've pretty much tried them all and Rick's Electrics is my favorite (non-OEM) stator. Good materials that include the rubber grommet.

            Thank you for your indulgence,
