I put a dc meter on the bike just one of those from ebay sent in from china. It seems to hold close to my multimeter. My voltage seems to run around 14.2 or so. Isn’t that a volt or so high?
I checked the alternator had .6 on the leads. If I just turn the key on the volts meter comes on and tells me my battery has 13.6 vdc sometimes. Today it was a strange thing, I started up the bike and volts gage showed 13.3 at idle I idled it a while the revved it up just a bit and volts showed 14.2 or so on gage and stayed up in the 14's any thought on this.
I have stock alternator vr-115 and 3 phase rectifier. I ohm out the rectifier same as I checked alternator. the diodes are fine. I just checked the ac output of the alternator and it was 15 or so volts at idle and went to high 40's or 50 when I ran the rpms up to 4000 or so.
Any thoughts as to whats going on? thanks
