running pamco mechanical advance with hhb pma w 5wire reg/rec. recently changed to lithium antigravity battery and noticed bike stalls after 20-30 min. Necessitating keys to turn off and kick before starts up again. Thru research I have found maybe the reg/rectifier may not be friendly w lithium battery.
Checked rotor wires and noticed one of the 3 yellow wires were fried at the connection joint, wires have greyed instead of copper. I opted to cut off all yellow wires at the rotor and replaced w new wiring.
Now I am confused, previous reg rec from hhb kit was 5 wire, the ricks has 8 wires.
Anyone have prior experience or know of simplifer connection joint? Could I wire the white “+ field coil or brush” to one of the firing connections on the coil?(either red or green wire from pamco to coil)
update 5/23/2023 - after some trial and error, ended up being my battery tender. I learned this in November on my second bike and have been riding without issues since. Had similar symptoms on my other 650 with a gel battery, tender shows charged but only good for about 30 minutes. I replaced with a BMS AG battery and new tender and haven't had issues since. My initial AG battery was a 401; apparently the smaller cell batteries do not have a BMS; regulator ended up being fine.
