I’ll take a look. But I would definitely feel more comfortable just having you rewind it and knowing I have a good rotor. If you want to send me the details I can ship it to you. Thanks for all your help!!

I checked everything out today again and everything is working perfectly! It purrs like a kitten a roars like a lion. Best of all the electrical system is doing exactly what it should and charging away! I am still a little concerned about the rectifier/regulator. Has anyone had one cut in and...

I redid the ground from the battery to the frame. I didn’t have that cleaned up very good. I’m going over all the connections and plugs again. But I am VERY happy that it is charging again. I’ll let you know if I find anything!

No, it’s actually still working…. And charging. It is a new part, but I kinda cheaped out on that and got a Chinese one off of EBay. And I apologize, the stator is new from Mikes Xs, the old one was shorted out not the alternator.

Yes. I also checked to see if I have a good ground anywhere on the bike and all tests came back with no resistance between the battery, frame, handlebars and engine. The slap test was also good. It pulled right into the case.

Hey Jim, I was going through your charging system by dummies list and when I jumped out the regulator the bike started working perfectly, 14.6 volts at 3k rpm at the battery. The battery voltage is 13.18 not running, 13.08 key on, and 12.79 at idle 1,300rpm (with the apparently faulty regulator)...

The alternator and brushes are new. Actually the only part of the electrical system I haven’t replaced is the rotor. I will have to go through the rest of the checklist after work. I’ll let you know what I discover.

Thanks guys! It’s been tough getting accurate info from other forums, I have read a lot of posts on here about the Xs. It took me about 8 months to get this project about wrapped up, for now. Lol

I am trying to get a hold of Jim, I need to have my rotor rewound. I was going to buy from ricks but it seems like they dont have the best of luck and i would like to keep the bike as stock as possible. Thanks!
