81 XS650 Special
Ok so I am not sure if my reg/rec is good or not. I have an 81 special that Im sure most of you are aware of the problems I have been having with it. I ohmed and tested my stator and it tested good, my pickups tested good, my rotor tested good, and got a good slap test with it. Brand new NOS coil and replacement 5k NGK caps. Battery is charged up and tested good. With the reg/rec unplugged the bike starts and runs normally, with it plugged in I can not get it to rev over 3-4k rpms. Unplug the reg/rec it runs normally. Now again I dont know if my reg/rec is bad or not, but I was thinking of trying this one as a replacement for it. At only 35 bucks I dont mind putting that into it. I know its a cheap one but if it fixes my problem then Im only going to be selling this bike and not keeping it, if it doesnt fix the problem then Im only out 35 bucks. Anyone ever use one of these before? Here is the link..http://www.ebay.com/itm/REGULATOR-R...:1981|Model:XS650&hash=item3f379064b8&vxp=mtr
Or if anyone has any other ideas as to what could be wrong with this bike Im all ears lol, I just dont want to put anymore money into a bike Im only going to be selling once its running normally.
