I have read thru many posts but have not found the info I am looking for...

New regulator / rectifier installed, only getting 12.5 v when revving, and the rectifier is getting HOT!!

Tested stator, over 100v across the contacts when revving engine.  Tested with engine off, small resistance across all 3 contacts, nothing to ground...

Am I missing something????  

1999 model

Thanks in advance

I have tested and am getting 12 v at red black and 11 v at orange black

Ground wire appears and tested ok

started bike, plugged in reg/rec and noticed rpm drop

tested output of reg/rec and got .9 v....

question: what would plugging a 6 wire reg/rec into this bike do?  Some reg/rec are 5 wire, some are 6 .   wondering if a 6 wire was plugged into it would it blow something somewhere, as this bike is a 5 wire.

99 and orange wire IS there, but the reg / rec only had 5 wires (no orange one)

when issue started pulled a 6 wire from a donor bike, installed and it worked (briefly, tested and got 14.4) but a week later and the batt was dead again.

Tested once more, only 12v so spoke with guy at shop, mentioned 5 wire vs 6 wire and was told a 6 wire would not work, so ordered me up a 5 wire reg/rec (no orange lead)

Routy, I have tested it as per the Clymer manual and it is working as per specs (100+ v across all the leads)

Have tested with bike not running and am getting small resistance on the leads, nothing to ground...

have tested ground and it appears to be good...

reg / rec is a new part...

Looked over the wiring diagram, there is no relay that may be faulty...

What am I missing???

continuing the troubleshooting I had a thought and grabbed the 6 wire r/r I had, disabled the orange / black and plugged it in (without the extra lights connected)

solid voltage 14v but when connecting the extra light back up, still drops to 12.4 or so

leave machine running (no extra lights) for a few min, this r/r just gets warm (methinks the heatsink on the aftermarket is insufficient)

have it all buttoned up now, with modded 6 wire r/r running and extra lights removed completely and getting solid voltage range when running... wonder if the shop will at least give me credit for the aftermarket new r/r that I don't need... prob not....

small halogen side units that are meant to be connected to the sides of the main headlight, small sealed beam.

the only thing I can see on them is raised in the glass YUNGLI

Anyway scoot is running fine now (is g/f's bike)  we went out to dinner last nite and I escorted her to work this morning (she is still learning, I feel better if she is not riding alone just yet...)
