Its charging but enough to keep the battery charged. The stator tests good all i can come up with is the rotor is week. I took it to a mechanic and he came up with the same thing. On Monday, August 19, 2013 9:23:20 PM UTC-5, cobrac wrote: Hello, I ride a 83 Nighthawk 550 but the rotor has

whats the ohms of the windings of the stator? thats how i found mine was bad. On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 10:55 PM, cobrac chris_s...@yahoo.com wrote: sorry about that its not charging enough to keep the battery charged. i did look on ebay and the rotor on there are not complete On Monday,

each leg to ground should be zero. measure each leg to itself is the true test. a to b, b to c, c to a should be 5 ohms. mine was 6 ohms on each and as long as i didnt use any extra lights or plug anything in it was just enough to hold a charge. all three need to be 5 ohms. On Mon, Aug 19, 2013

if i remember right i had just over 15amps on each of the three legs when its running. all three were equally the same reading On Monday, August 19, 2013 9:23:20 PM UTC-5, cobrac wrote: Hello, I ride a 83 Nighthawk 550 but the rotor has gotten weak and was looking for some insite to find

no, no, no, not amps, ohms, resistance. do NOT have it hooked to power. you have to unplug it to read it anyway. try again. On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 11:17 PM, cobrac chris_s...@yahoo.com wrote: if i remember right i had just over 15amps on each of the three legs when its running. all three

I understand. I was just checking different readings when i was testing componets. When i ran out of ideas that i knew would have been a forsure i took it to a guy on sat that works mostly on HD and i mentioned to him that i though the rotor might be weak he called me later and said that thats

sure. it is a bit of a pain to replace a stator but if you know how to turn a wrench then you should be fine. just double check what the ohms are? On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 12:00 AM, cobrac chris_s...@yahoo.com wrote: Thank you ! On Monday, August 19, 2013 9:23:20 PM UTC-5, cobrac wrote:

tell your hd mechanic your gonna come get that you are gonna fix it youself. if hes at all a worthy mechanic then he should not object. that is unless you don't feel comfortable doing the stator yourself? ask him what I asked you? On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 12:27 AM, nighthawkin
