Gs850 charging system

[fastbysuzuki]

Hi I was checking the bike for charging just by putting a meter across the battery poles (it is a good battery) on tick over I am getting a reading 14.1v at 1050 Rpm any significant rise in rpm from there gives a reading of 13.6 v is this a sign of a failing regulator or stator?
thanks.

Are your tests with lights off? The Quick Test (see my signature) suggests 6 measurements which all have the lights on.

Since you are across the pond, and the voltage at low idle is so high, I'll swag a guess despite your incomplete measurements.
You have bad connections between battery and R/R ; proceed to Revised Phase A tests (see GS Charging Health in my signature)and measure the voltage drops at 5K RPM clean and repair as required to drive those voltages to below 0.2V (or better)..

Hi thank you for the quick reply, yes I tested with the lights off I will proceed as you suggest and let you know the results ASAP
