Reply #16 - 05/31/16 at 08:40:45 My guess would be rectumfryer. should not be dropping to 10 when you rev it though, did you have it hooked to the battery? and have you checked the open circuit voltage of the stator? each of the three pairs should go to 100v at high revs.

Rectumfyer is 205 buzolians at the dealer.. will check all connections with the electrical cleaner just to get those nice.

Rectifiers are $ 20 more or less on eBay....new or used. Official Factory one is $ 200.

Can be purchased at Harbor freight for cheap or free with a coupon. Don't perform Brain Surgery on a hang nail!

Batteries are fickle beasts. If you have a problem, start with getting it tested. I would rather Not have one tested by the same people who will be replacing it for free, first. IDK if wal mart tests bike batteries, but they took the backhoe battery that I thought was dead meat after I left the key on and resurrected it. It's been around four years ago and it's still kicking. They have a very sophisticated machine that charges a battery as it monitors the thing. They handed me a printout that showed parameters of battery life and function I didn't know existed.
Much more than the tests I'm used to seeing done at the car parts house. They have a charger and a load tester and a volt meter... heck, I have that..

Reply #21 - 05/31/16 at 12:09:38 if you check the voltage coming from the stator ,you've disconnected it from the rectomfryer so that any two of the three yellow wires should read 100 volts but this is AC volts (hasn't been rectumfryed).

Reply #27 - 09/27/16 at 17:32:47 I don't think it's the stator. OHM it out and then each wire to ground. Post readings. Right at the large connector at the rectumfrier. Should be 3 yellow wires that come from stator. Usually the stator coils don't burn out unless someone jumped it and left the cables on to long. Check ALL your connections.
