Figure 3-9 "wye connected" (second set of blue boxes)

A-B, B-C, C-A

Lmao thxfor the link .. now im even more confused !! Hahaha

[rustybronco]

What's so confusing? put your imaginary 'leads' on the points I described in that drawing. That's exactly how you will be connecting the 'real' leads up to your bike.

Questions?

The only thing remotely frustrating is when you don't read what we say. Everything is said for a reason.

Can't help if we don't have the answers we require.

Im trying to give you all the answers to your queations ..
When I get home I will pulla socket from the wall and take a reading. Then wil label wires from the stator A, B & C and try the test over ..
Again thank you

Rusty, this is the reason I allway just focus on quick test until a direction can be found. The average joe coming to Gsr and electrical problems just has a difficult time with following the few or revised stator pages.

In addition it has been well stablished that the only stator test that is even close to being conclusive is the leg to front stator tests. The rest are only conclusive if they fail. If they pass it does not mean much.


This particular poster has some very strange quick test results and a separate r and r. I see no reason to leave that old pair of r's on the bike and so no point to test it with until it is replaced.

Jim, rather than replacing both units at once, I'm trying to show him how to test the stator.
He has a R/R that is known good and will fit so that's one portion out of the way. BUT, if he can't make sense of how that R/R should be connected to a stator that has five wires then I will try and make him understand as best as I can.

We got him settled down, he knows what we've asked and I've relinked him to the quick test in your signature.

Got to get him comfortable with what he doesn't understand first.

Oh, and to me, measuring the stators output 'is' a quick test.

Label the pairs 1...2...3...4...5 as the stators wiring harness has five wires.

Remember?

For example... A has two wires connected up to it. B has two wires connected up to it and C has only one. The two wires coming off A are electrically connected. (treated as a single wire) B....

I appreciate everyones opinion and time here ... you all take your time to assist people like myself , whom you dont even know and thats just awsome !!
When i get home tonite I will do a few tests ...
1 check my multi meter on wall socket just to see what it reads
2 do what was asked of me last nite and do the quick teat over again .. sorry was not able to run that test again last nite , my neiber has a new baby and has asked I not rev the heck out of the bikes after 10 pm
And lastly I will test the stator again , hopefull having better luck and a better reading then what I was getting yesterday ..
Again thx again all

[rustybronco]

We even help Kanadians from time to time.

(it's a forever running joke!)

YEP, and to see if it's jumping around.



Three... When the meter is in the A.C position lead polarity means zip. Alternating Current goes positive, then negative, then positive, then negative.... W-R-R

Ok just tested plug outlet using both my multimeters . My cheep $20 meter gave me a reading of 118.8 . My good meter gave me a reading of 118.9 .
Taking battery off charger .. will be back soon

It seems complicated, but it's not. If you abandoned a yellow and a white/blue like I said it would be (any combination you start with) example: 1 White/Blue to Green/White, 2 Green/white to Yellow, 3 Yellow to white/Blue.

Thx again .. but I certain thats what I was doing yesterday ... ill be back shortly

I used a yamaha roadstar warrior r/r, cheaper than yamaha r1 for the same part.
Artic cat use the same on 4 wheelers or snowmobile.
You can buy kit here, just found it when searching for connectors.

.quick test done with better numbers this time around I think ..
#1 - 13.36 freshly chatged battery right off charger
#2 -12.41
#3 -12.54
#4 -12.62
#5 - 12.70
#6 -12.87
Tested twice and these numbers were almost banh on second time doing test

[lrgguy]

Ok numbers from stator ac v
Blue/white to green/white - 37.35
Green/white to yellow - 68.80
Yellow to blue/white -38.83

[lrgguy]

After doing both those tests my battery now sits at 12.95
