Just got it firing!
Hello everyone.
I have been having an alternator problem for some time now and would like to possiably find a solution. The problem is as follows.
When the Alternator get warm, up to operating temp, the volts drops off and causes the battery to discharge. This only happens with the headlight on . Without the headlight being on daylight riding the charge rate is about 13.5 volts. When I put the system under load i.e. Headlight a discharge condition occurs. I replaced the following items over the years . Battery 2yrs old tests ok. Rotor new, diode board new,
Battery 2yrs old. Load tested ok.
New brushes stator cleaned, voltage regulator replaced with solid state adjustable.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Would like to be able to ride again at night
Cheers
