charging problem

Hi members, trying to help out my friend on his motorcycle with probably a minor electrical issue, I am walking in to a problem I cannot figure out. Really hoping to find a answer from someone with specific experience working on these bikes! We started off with a bike that wasn't charging...

I have Pamco ignition system with the EAdvance installed on my '81 heritage special with the stock solid state regulator/rectifier and im having a bit of trouble with my charging system. I followed Curly's charging system troubleshooting guide that is reposted all over the place and got to...

I have an 81 heritage special I turned into a chop and have been having issues with it charging, it seems intermittent because one day I can ride it with no issue and the next it will die a block from home. battery will be dead as if it isn't charging, with a multi meter on the battery and...

Hello everyone, I had previously posted about getting a new charging system. Well, I fixed here up! My 1973 TX650 now has a functioning stock charging system with a solid state reg/rec unit. I had her fired up and charging! It was worth it. However, I am a bit confused. Maybe the community could...

I'm struggling here guys! I've read through the post on overcharging with no luck. My XS650B is overcharging my battery (Shorai Lithiam Iron) battery. I assumed the Rick's Reg/Rec was bad so I replaced it with the Electosport ESR350. The bike still overcharges. I've checked the green brush wire...

Hey All, I'm still working to get my '81H up and running reliably. I have a HHB PMA, Pamco and EAdv. I've been working on getting the timing just right and when I went to put the light on it, the light wouldn't work. I thought darned HF cheapo light...and then I tested the battery voltage and...

I bought a non running project bike that is now running but not charging. The rotor tested bad at 2.3 ohms so I replaced it with a good used one. The bike is a 1978 running points, so I bought a rotor for the early model bikes. I put in on and there was no change. No results on the slap test and...

OK I ran through curly's charging system tests and all come back ok. We also checked for grounds and those are gold too, replaced plug wires, and new stock ignition. The brushes are worn and I didnt measure them but my father in law said they are ok looking to him. I also replaced the reg/rec...

The charging system in my '72 XS2 is once again not working (i.e., the battery drains (especially when I switch the headlight on!) and the bike dies by the side of the road with no lights, horn, etc.). Once the battery dies, if I let the bike sit for a few minutes, it'll start up again and get...

OK, I know that this topic has been beaten to dead. I have read posts and went through Curly's check list and still am not sure what the problem is. 1983 Heritage Special At 3,000 rpm I get a little bump in voltage at the battery up to 12.6 to 12.75 Did the feeler guage check with the...

I don't know what's the problem is but the bike will not charge and I am not sure what to do to check it ..I need to charge it before I ride and I only get about 45 min before it dies please help I hate jut ridding around the block I want to get on the open road. Thanks

:wtf:PO Told me he had been jump starting the bike to get it going in the past. I thought that was devistating to the regulator rectifier. I got a new battery and it started when I first brought it home, but the next day the battery was reading. 2.57 and I know it did not get that was by itself...
