Riding down the east coast may sound like a good idea, but there's nothing like the Pacific Coast Highway in California. A couple of years ago, I drove from the outer banks of NC down to Savannah, GA. In general, you're riding flatlands away from the coast, so you could ride from Minnesota to O

Tommy is correct hold it a 5k rpm and see what you get it should be around 14.7. To test a stator check resistance between all yellow leads it should be consistent. Also check for continuity to ground there should be NONE. If either test fails replace the part. For the R/R you can only test the dio
