RR question

[my425E1979]

fellow enthusiasts... the vast majority of postings dealing with RR issues involve the unit OVERcharging the system.. but is it also possible that the unit could be UNDERcharging the system?? that seems to be my problem for my stator appears to be testing up to specs.. and i can't think of any other reason why my system is only circulating a whopping 13V... anyone?

Mine is doing this as well. I was told the stator may have shorted a few wires and not putting out hte voltage I need. I am not sure this is accurate, only what I was told. Other people?

Yes, under and over charging are both common symptoms of charging trouble, and must be fixed muy pronto.

Peruse the Stator Papers carefully, follow the instructions carefully, and you and your GS shall benefit greatly from the wisdom therein:

R/R can under & over charge

Be sure to do all the stator checks. You need 60 to 80 volts between all combination of pairs @ 5,000 rpm. NONE OF THE STATOR WIRES CAN BE GROUNDED.

The R/R can block current and allow to much to pass through. If the stator is OK and the voltage across the battery isn't close to 14 @ 5,000 rpm you've got a R/R or wiring problem.

Have you added any aftermarket electrical parts?

thanks man.. i think "bwringer" needs to lay off the hard stuff.. peace.

Careful newbie....be very careful. :?

I had a problem with mine in that one wire from the stator going to the R/R was corroded in the connector. It acted like it was charging, but just not enough. After finding and fixing the connector, my voltage came right back up to 14.5V.
