Regulator-Rectifier...i think?

[Anonymous]

heres the question.i followed the flow chart in the stator pages...looks like the stator is good, but the RR seems to be troubled. when i attempt the diode test, i get 0L on multimeter...i assume the RR is shot, also the ac voltage is good coming off the stator (80Vac @ 5Krpm) but there is onll a small raise in dc voltage @ the battery (12.1Vdc < 12.8Vdc) if the RR is bad, and i assume it is why is there any raise in dc voltage? i do not want to spend the $ if can avoid it. one last thing- the 10amp fuse was missing for the power source...i dont have a manual, i assume the fuse is needed?

ps. new battery

first, does your bike have four or five fuse holders? if it has five, the bottom one is a accessory fuse, for hooking up heated grips or a heated jacket or radar detector, etc.

if you are only getting 12.1 at idle and it only rises to 12.8 with revs, you may have a dead leg in the rectifier.
have you tried changing or eliminating the connectors from the stator?
and have you run a secondary ground from the regulator to the ground terminal on the battery??
the secondary ground may cure your problem, if the regulator does not have a good ground to the battery you will have charging problems.
my bike had a low charge rate problem also and the secondary ground modification cured it.

what would be the best way to put a secondary ground the the RR?
