After trying Iridium plugs in my '81 H I went back to stock plugs and discovered a charging problem. I tested rotor, stator, rectifier, and coils by the books, Yamaha, Clymer, Haynes and Chilton. My rotor was out of spec, everything else was okay. I bought and installed a rebuilt rotor from Ricks. Charging 14.4 volts at 3000 rpm, I'm happy, almost. I can ride as long as I want, but if I stop and the bike sits in the sun too long and gets hot, it run like crap, missing, won't idle and tries to die. Yet I believe it is still charging the battery, it is higher when I finally get home then when I left. I have yet to have it happen when I have my meter with me.
