Dear Knowledge vault, I am checking out my stator and charging system for weakness on my 03 XB12s, something causing a poor charge on the battery. What ac (alternating cuurent) voltage would I be looking for at idle and then at 3k from connection #77 (gasp!) I just cant seem to find it anywheres inside this mass of tech tips. any other info or links on the solving of the "slow to crank, always turns over but sometimes resets my clock so I think I should fix it/check it out but I'm scared plus my wallet is a tad skinny" problem. thanks!

Just make sure your ground connections are clean and tight before you go to the next step. Please. (And of course the major positive connections) You should show approx. 12.5 DCV sitting and 14.5 running between the pos. batt. terminal and ground. If you use the lead terminals on your battery you also check your battery connections too. (Message edited by Buell_Bert on March 25, 2009) |

Remember the AC output of the stator is measured on connector 46. The output of the regulator on connector 77 is DC. The regulator must be connected to the battery or it will give no output.

snap braughaum, info from 3 posts is exactly what a knuckle head like me needs. Thanks for the info all, I will let you know if I find anything useful. again, thanks to all. much appreciated. I think I was calling #46--> #77 by mistake. |
