voltage regulator 04 savage
04/16/11 at 13:04:11

Hi folks. I am new to the site and to the savage, bought the bike late last fall rode a little before putting her away for the winter. Removed battery it was very low on water topped up and slow charged battery saved. Fast forward to spring install battery and check charging system as per manual. I have 17 volts at battery, bike running, alternator and stator pass tests. No test for regulator other than try known good one. Are the voltage regulators known to have trouble? Thanks for looking.

Could be worse at least I could use the old one to check a no charge condition.
