How did this work out for ya?
I have the same problem. I'm on my third RR in 2 years. I relocated the last one as per Shazaam's recommendation. However just realised she aint charging again. Done the un-regulated voltage test and got 80V @ 6k RPM.I'll replace the wire with heavier stuff. Is it likely this is after taking out another RR?
Ok well I cut the alternator wires back to within a couple of inches of where they exit the engine case the wire looks in good condition. I took an ACV reading from there and got the same 80 ACV @6K RPM. Thats 60V short of where its supposed to be. From this reading I have to assume the stator is faulty. Electrex do a replacement unit, anyone any experience with these? Im pretty sure the RR is dead aswell so gonna get em both from eletrex. Have a new Yuasa battery to go in too so hopefully it'll be the last time I have to strip this system down. Have also learned that I might have contributed to this failure by allowing my last battery to discharge. Then jump starting the bike and allowing the charging system to revive the battery. I have learned(thanks to Shazaam) that the single phase 350watt system is not really up to this. So from now on Its gonna be replace all wiring with 10guage, solder all connections, install a voltmeter, relocate the RR and pay special attention to my battery condition. If the battery dies i'll get the Odessy unit Shazaam recommends.
