    that's a nice bike Markus, I got that same Franks German tail on my 12R.. I love what you did

    still got BOTH Buells and running them several times a week.. I Really been thinking about a Harley though.. I like that Fat Bob and I like the new Sportser S.. just a a bar hopper. The Fat Bob I could ride 2-up with Jen on the weekends.

    I took the old VR and hit it with connector cleaner, both connectors... plugged it in and 14.4! . I got my deltron battery tender pigtail in there now and last reading I took off of it was 13.8V so you're suggesting i take the 77 APART and clean it out??

    sonofabitch ... I plug in my old VR before pulling the one off my 07 and the old one is charging at 14.4 V.... plug in my new eBay copy and it's 12.5l... plug in my old buell VR and 14.4!! must have been a dirty connector???? yeah it's back together with my old VR .. no problem. 14.3 volts...

    ,I'm gonna try and plug in my VR that's on my 07 and if it fixes it we will know..

    but continuity shows why the stator isn't putting out power.. mine IS putting out the power it needs so continuity is ok, or that was my understanding of the test..
  7. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    I didn't do continuity, just saw that the output was good , I figured the continuity was just to isolate if the stator or rotor was bad.. and if total output was good then it was all good. No? I just got some contact cleaner, to clean things up.. I went back to old posts and saw that some guys...

    Been gone long time, stator question

    I'm getting confused.. at rest , reading across my battery terminals is 13.1V.. at idle its 12.6V if you rev it up to 4000rpm it doesnt go up much maybe 12.7V... some guys are saying the battery is being charged at 12.4V other guys are saying it's around 13.5 volts... is 12.6V at the battery...

    ok I was on the wrong connector.. I'm on the 3 pin connector and all combos of 1 , 2 and 3 give 20V at idle then jumps up to 30-something at 2000 rpm and around 50V at 3000 rpm.. I don't see why that isn't enough power to charge ... so Stator is coming back as good, its a new VR and my relays...

    Been gone long time, stator question

    wait a min, connectors on a sportser and a XB are different I was checking off the 2 pin connector.. the manual says check output and resistance off a 3 - pin connector so I guess I was getting that 26v off the wrong wire... I gotta check that 3 pin connector instead and see what it says.. I'm...

    Been gone long time, stator question

    ok I swap all relays around and no change..so they are all good relays. I put my volt meter on AC and take a reading right at stator output, it's just two contacts in the connector.. I get 26V at idle, I gjve it throttle and the voltage GOES DOWN NOT UP.. goes down to 13V at like 2500rpm. that...

    Been gone long time, stator question

    ok thanks man .. I swap out relays once holidays are over.. I was getting ready to check connectors and start looking for damaged wires , I think my stator is ok actually.. I didn't hear any pops or anything when I started the bike.. swapping the VR changed nothing that wasn't my problem but...
  13. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    ok Stator AC output was 25.5 to 26V .. my understanding of the checklist is that if total output passes the test that all.the other rotor and continuty checks are unneeded .. am I correct? the problem doesn't seem to be stator Or regulator... this is a brand new battery... and a brand new...

    Been gone long time, stator question

    yeah I just threw a VR in there bc it's cheap and easy and the one that was in there was from 2003 anyway.. time for a change. I was watching the sportster videos I'll.do the stator tests next.. its a brand new battery but it wasn't fully charged at the time I last tested it so that may be a...

    I'll read on testing that relay then I'll go in and get a reading right off that stator and see..

    fuse coming off.the battery in that little box in the tail looks good to me.. it's 30 amp.. every fuse in the fuse box is good. I guess I can check that battery relay
  17. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    yeah some places are saying 13.1 at idle or greater at the battery terminals... mine stays a steady 12.6 and its got a brand new VR on it.. doesn't matter what RPM its pulling it stays the same.... gotta be a bab stator.
  18. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    ok I'm studying up on it.. seems like they are checking at the stator itself where the VR plugs in.. I guess readings at the battery terminals don't mean anything or they would be doing that bc it's so much easier to do a quick test there... so I could be good actually.. am I right?
  19. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    I'm just asking if 12.5v at the battery terminals at idle is normal..
  20. Gloomshadow

    Been gone long time, stator question

    yeah probably a relay .. only 30 amp fuse I saw was coming off the battery cables... ok I got a new regulator on there, easy job... voltage at the terminals remains the same. 12.9 when the bike is off... drops to 12.5 when the bike is running.. that can't be good huh?
