So i have a 1980 xs650. It had been sitting for 25years when i took it out of the garage. I have gotten it running, however most recently it died after about an hour and a half long drive. It drained the battery. I have replaced the reg/rec and have also replaced the brushes as well as the battery so i know that that is not the problem.
1. I recently did a test on the resistence of the rotor which measured 1.9 ohms. (through forum and book i know this should be 5-7 ohms.)
2. I am getting ready to replace the rotor but i would also like to check the stator to see if that needs to be replaced as well. I am confused about the.5 ohms between white wires or between white wires and ground or between white wire and yellow wire. Is it possible for someone to simplify this for me?
3. Also curly's comments about the resistence of the meter being one ohm itself could throw off this measurement.
4. If the stator is good i am thinking about just replacing the rotor. However if the stator is bad it seems more cost effective and better to do the Banshee or permanent magnet conversion. any and all thoughts on this conversion are appreciated. i am mostly concerned that this isabove my skill level. I understand how to mount the system but do not 100 percent understand the wiring.
5. Does anyone know where i can get an inexpensive standard rotor? and or stator? perhaps someone did a banshee swap and has left over parts.
6. Does anyone know where i can get inexpensive parts to do the banshee swap.
I know that this is a lot but i appreciate all the help. I have gotten stranded on the road three times already thinking i have fixed the problem. Thanks again.
