It's a floating (isolated) secondary. Check it from one HT lead to the other Ht lead.... green arrows.

Es una secundaria flotante (aislada). Compruébelo desde un cable HT al otro cable Ht .... flechas verdes.

I did just that. A little research and I found the correct way to measure. Sometimes i'm a little rushed :lmao:
 
Hey I hope they are better with the application of the vaccines.
It's been tough times around here, but I kept a little busy.
I decided to make my version of pma at low cost (40 dollars more or less) and put new grease on the steering, I also wrapped the exhausts, I like how they look.

Feliz de ver que todavía estás por ahí y trabajando en tu bicicleta.
 
Please give info on the charging setup and regulator and experiences if problems
This is something that can be of interest for many.

I do not know if your bike has this old style mechanical regulator.

I believe the bike in question has a PMA (Permanent Magnet Alternator) That means the regulator is not controlling the field current, but rather dumping excess current. That is to say it's a horse of a different color.
 
I believe LanzSilva is going for a permanent magnet Alternator
Wheras # 207 + # 208 is for the stock factory set up
With a regulator adapting the current through the Rotor 5
And with no rotor winding LanzSilva the stock regulator wont be able to adapt any rotor current
So most likely another regulator solution is needed .. I don't at this point in time knows which or what

It had an OEM charging system with some improvements (type a regulator), my brushes were damaged from the spring. Due to my small budget and lack of spare parts in my city, savings on shipping, and other things, I decided to try my version of PMA.
 
I have seen these before and Bought some parts I have stashed
I have seen cross lists about which parts fits
Does anyone out there perhaps ( former ) brit bike owner know how the regulating is done on PMA systems
Or better still already know which regulator works
I remember a Zener diode under the lamp with cooling fins.
I assume we are talking a shunt regulator ( I believe it is called ) that cooks off excess charging to heat somewhere
But I have not done the read up
I believe this is of interest .. since a setup can be made happen for low cost with some cheap salvage parts .
Which is good in an evaluation period as the Gonzo ignition. Getting some miles on a bike before decisions is made
and a knowledge base is also good for the ones having these systems from Other vendors

Here exists replacements for the stock rectifier and regulator But this would be of use I believe

The main reason I didn't go with a PMA banshee system (the most common change) is that I couldn't afford to spend the budget on it, plus I've seen a lot of negative posts and comments about its Chinese parts. If I am going to put something Chinese made I hope it will be cheap and easy to replace if necessary. I cannot justify the current PMA prices of mike xs in a Chinese system.

The parts of my system are parts of work bikes (cheap and easy-to-find parts) in my country. Spend about $ 40.
 
60km approximately on the weekend with some friends. We started the day with some grilled corn and some beers. Then a tour of my city and in the evening a sandwich of Argentine chorizo, honey water (also known as agave water) and some shots of charanda with some kind of mushroom.

Sounds tight the engine. Indoors and not so much of the heads
But Put it like this -- There are many XS650s out there that makes more noise.
Probably right and perfect but at next service a check of the valve play can be a good thing.to focus on.

A parts list would help the Low Budget ..Beginning Enthusiasts
Regulator mainly
As well as reports on how it work in the future
Nice Job .. !!!!
