upon reading the tech section, it said that connecting the green wire to ground bypasses the regulator, and allows full power to the battery. i think thats what occuring somehow. will check tmrw, thanks

jim - i didnt check to see if my regulator was bad, but i plugged in a diffirent one, and its still overcharging

running into an issue on my 1981 xs650. I have a PAMCO ignition but a stock charging system, which is brushes. so instead of a CDI box i have the ignition through the cam. ever since then my bikes been overcharging. i looked into getting the new PMA charging system and it said that it only works...

thanks for your help guys. will look into these solutions

its stock with brushes

with brushes

it is an stock alt from ricks motorsports electric off of PU

just to be clear, this is not a stock xs650 its a cafe racer with a dif headlight

you might be onto something there i will check tmrw, i think its grounded right to the battery tho.

i believe the reg. is off of mikes

i have a pamco ignition if thats what ur wondering

with the headlight connected it recharges correctly. im not trying to run it without a headlight i want to change it to an LED lightbar headlight

when the headlight is plugged in the whole system is working properly

its a new regulator and meter.

Centech 61593 $40 from amazon, great meter

The rotor is from ricks motorsports. Not OEM. Again, very poorly made it’s just a clump of solder holding the ends of the wire winding

thanks for the help. I checked the charging and it wasn’t charging so I looked at the rotor and tested for resistance and there was none so bad rotor. Took off the stator and the rotor wire was un-soldered from the rest of the rotor. Poorly made imo. Got it from PU. Soldered it back on, seems...
