    PMA regulator placement

    Anyone have pictures of where the regulator is mounted? PMA regulator doesn't fit stock regulator location, came with mounting bracket which I can't find anywhere it would fit as it's much bigger with the bracket and theres barely any space between side covers and air filters, and it has to...

    XS Charge Ignition & PMA No Spark

    Just installed the XS charge ignition + PMA on my 83 xs650. Bike started up first kick, charging good, but no headlight. Found a thread and read to connect the yellow wire from old stator connector to one of the PMA wires. Got the headlight working. Went for a quick ride earlier today and...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    No luck with switching the reg/rec. I'm going to look for a TCI box, thats the only thing I haven't replaced. Just asked gggGary if he's got one. I just don't know how the TCI system is working fine w.o reg/rec if it's the box, but also seems unlikely both reg/rec are causing the problem. Guess...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    Haven't looked into the TCI box yet. Going to clean the connector and put in my old regulator and see what happens. I'm looking at a thread about the TCI box diodes failing causing stuttering, shouldn't cost much to replace it but I can't find any on ebay. I'll post on here for one if I don't...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    Yeah it's a stock one I got off ebay, I still have the stock one I had on originally. I changed it when I replaced the stator back when I was trying to get it charging. Turned out my old rotor was the problem. I'm testing my old regulator now, maybe this one I replaced is the problem? I did...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    What would be the test or solution to excessive charge? I recently put in a new Yuasa battery. It's been holding 12v no problem, charging no problem. The bike goes up to 14 when I rev it and doesn't pass 14. I can check at what rpms it reaches 14, but no idea what to do to adjust the amount of...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    So I guess thats not my problem. Do you know how to test the pickup wires at the connectors? I could try the earth magnets again, still have some. Maybe the high heat JB weld works better. Otherwise I'm looking at the XScharge electronic ignition kit. Does this replace the magnet / pickup system...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    The trigger magnet seems good. With the stator off I put a screwdriver up to the magnet and has a nice pull, the last one had barely any. I'll look into the distance between the magnet and pickup coils, I could see that being a problem. I had a mechanic install the rotor because I don't have an...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    The last rotor i had on the bike had a very weak magnet. I was epoxying a rare earth magnet that would fly off and leave me stranded. I got that rotor from mikesxs and after contacting them they sent me another rotor thats on the bike now. The magnet is much stronger, putting a wrench up to it...

    Won't rev with regulator plugged in

    I've finally got my 1983 xs650 charging, now it won't rev. It idles fine, starts stuttering and backfiring when i rev it. The problem started while i was on the highway on my way home, the bike starts stuttering. Made it home, but now the stuttering starts in the low range rpms. Recently...
