I have been working on this damn charging system for 2 weeks to the point where I had success with my bike charging by replacing my rotor and stator with a good used one, new brushes, VR115 regulator, and Radio Shack rectifier. I got the bike out today to take an afternoon run and thought I'd do a quick voltage test. Well, no charge again! WTF!
The resistance on my rotor is 5.9 ohms and my rotor magnetizes when I hit the key. I did notice that there is a couple volt difference between my battery and positive brush. My battery is currently at 11.1V and I was at 8.9 on my positive brush with the key on, bike not running. I'm going to consult Curly's charging guide this evening and see what I can come up with. I'm so damn discouraged right now!
