Hey all-
I'm at my wits end with a charging issue with my '78 XS650. Here's the situation:
I have an HHB PMA installed for a few years now, with a small SLA battery and no electric start. Charging system is super simple: just the PMA, SLA, and reg/rec. The issue is that batteries are getting boiled off, which leads me to believe the reg/rec is to fault. I'll replace the battery and the bike will run strong for a while until the battery is cooked and then I have to replace the battery again. I replaced the reg/rec with a new 3 phase hoping that would solve the issue, but it persists. Any ideas? Bad ground maybe? Ground wire too small? My ground seems solid, and it's a 14 gauge wire.
Any help appreciated.
