I may move these related posts as this is a hijacked thread....
Apologies!I may move these related posts as this is a hijacked thread....
With great power comes great responsibility.This thread will be used to continued trouble shooting on a hijacked thread so as to continue the trouble shooting.
None needed!Apologies!
Lol, I’m quite sure that I’m the one who hijacked that thread when I saw the voltage readings. But that’s why we have moderators, to clean up our messes and keep us in the lane.
Lol! I'm just as guilty if not more!Trouble maker ^^^^!
And here, I thought it was all me.Lol! I'm just as guilty if not more!
You just can't trust those fargin' Jersey folks! Ask me how I knowTrouble maker ^^^^!
Damn Yankee's!You just can't trust those fargin' Jersey folks! Ask me how I know

Lol! the heavier accent used to change just south of Keansburg. Ask me how I know!
Exit 100, 105 or 109.
Not again! Should we make another thread for GSP exits. Scott's from Long Island. Youz guyz tawk funny!
That don't count anymore (LI). Left there in 1979 and ain't looked back!!
I checked for resistance with the Regulator disconnected (first pic)Very good news on the stator voltage, it’s right at the sweet spot. I just want to make sure I understand your second test. Did you find continuity between all of the wires from the same connector that you checked AC voltage, or was it the other side?
Did you ever voltage directly from the battery?
I checked for resistance with the Regulator disconnected (first pic)
And the stator disconnected, with the meter on the stator plug terminals (second pic)
The long list of bike states and voltages, above, were taken directly at the battery terminals.
Looking at the SAE connector on the battery, I wondered if the terminals were loose. I got less than a quarter turn on the negative, and nothing on the positive.
How can the voltage readings be good, but the continuity bad?
I only checked continuity wire to wire on the plug.When you perform the continuity test, check each stator wire to ground. No continuity is good, any continuity is bad. Now check wire to wire: Wire1 to Wire2, Wire2 to Wire3, and Wire3 to Wire1. You should see about .5 ohm resistance. Any open is bad, any continuity is good.
The stator can make full power without load, but collapse under load if the coils are fried.
