Electrical issue

[ferniesnow]

when motor is running 1/4 throttle Doug check voltage at battery should be 13.8 or more

Easy way to eliminate the stator-----disconnect three yellow wries going into your voltage reg, with an AMP meter check to see what amps are coming from your stator at idle. should be 13.8 to 15 amps. If you have good amps.......with a charged battery installed......check to see if you have 12.8 volts coming down to the voltage reg from the battery.

Will do.

Will I be able to get the ol' girl back together?????????

Flag looks great.
2 rum and it be running

 

[imdoo'n]

have a third , then who cares. lol.

Ahhhhhhhhh that plastic stuff is just for show. It'll cool better this way.

Mike, the tech at Cernovus in Pincher (that testing may not be reliable) and Will, the tech at Mr.R's. When Will tested it and replaced the starter, everything was good for all of last winter expect for running down the battery. Like I said initially, back and forth at slow speeds and working the winch isn't a good combination for getting a charge back in the battery.

Obviously, with it shutting off when I disconnect the battery, there is something amiss in the charging system.

electrical components fail,

So how does one test the voltage regulator?

bike not running check voltage at battery 12.2 volts 'my quess'

things working right 1/4 throttle bike running check at battery should be 13.8 or more

 

[TROLLCAT]

if there is no voltage increase need to test stator

that sounds pretty simple. Thanks Troy.

Voltage increase check! I will check the stator. I'm thinking directions are above.

Get after it. Doo the test

 

[TROLLCAT]

what was the increase how much ???

 

[TROLLCAT]

need a service manual for the values on the stator for the test

Oh, oh............me no testy.

It was as you said, 12.2-12.4 on the battery and 13.6-13.8 at quarter idle.

12.2 is a bit low on the battery it should be at 12.6-7.
It is charging , but it should be charging up into the 14.4 range

Get your battery load tested.

I will put the charger on tonight and see what it is in the morning. I tested the winch a few times today so it likely drew it down a tad.

I got what this thread needs......

Don't test it right after it comes off the charger. Let it sit for an hour or so then check voltage.
A few times with the winch unloaded shouldn't have drawn it down 40%
