Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

well guys im in tears new stator arrived looked like original but wires were soldered and not a complete connection not wound tight like hondas original so wires were in the way and made it a tight fit so had to chap it in lightly only for the middle section of stator to break free what a

Not really a defect, just a limitation of the time and tech. By putting a floor on the minimum effective RPM they could get better max continuous power out of a given size of unit. Modern winding and rectifier/regulator control does away with the compromise. On Sun, May 22, 2016 at 10:02 PM,

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

I wouldn't say a defect, just a know condition. Many older bikes use a magneto, not an alternator. This was an early alternator for these and for size and weight, just made it need to turn faster to put out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Isn't that some kind of "known" manufacturers defect on these bikes?...I could've sworn I read that somewhere on Paul's site... NHL On May 20, 2016 12:03, "Tommy Hill" wrote: > It will not charge at idle, as said above. Has to be around 2-2,500 RPMs > before it starts to

It will not charge at idle, as said above. Has to be around 2-2,500 RPMs before it starts to charge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

i know your probably right kyle as youve helped me alot with my bike the fuse box and all least it would put recrods straight eddie a question for you would i get any charge at all if stator readings are yellow to yellow ok at 0.6 ohms but white to black only reading 2.3 instead of 4.0-6.0 ohms

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

The bike will never charge at idle, even with a healthy electrical system. The break even point is around 2500 RPM. -Kyle On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 6:49 AM, Eddie Hoy wrote: > yeaha just ordered brand new stator hope thats all it needs will find out > if the bike charges

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

Hey Eddie The voltage your getting at 4000rpm sounds much like my bike. It would charge but you had to be riding the hell out of it. Around town it was draining the battery. Your test results say the stator needs replaced. Unscrew the alternator cover, and then hopefully get the center bolt

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

Hey Eddie I have a 83 hawk and ended up getting the stator rewound because it was putting out voltage but not enough. Hopefully you have a muitimeter. On the left side, remove the cover and take apart the connector from the alternator. Set your mutimeter to OHM setting, check each of the three

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: cb 650sc altenator

That is not enough to charge the battery. It seems that the rectifier is not working. Are you able to read the A.C. voltage at the rectifier inputs (yellow wires) I will scan and post, later tonite, some sheets of the Honda shop manual that explains the procedure for troubleshooting Stefano

Hello Eddie, I just joined the forum and I have been owning a Honda CB650SC for 30 years. I had a similar problem with the alternator. First thing to check is the voltage at the battery terminals with engine running at roughly 4.000 rpm. Voltage should be 13.7V minimum. Let me know and I think
