Hi Guys
Long time reader first time question asker.
I have a 449 Te, with 4500km on it. A few weeks back, the battery died during a ride and I had to swap with one of those carby Yamy's to get home. Don't tell anyone. ( my battery is only a few months old and charges up well in other bikes, so I dont see a prob with the Battery)
I found the battery wasn't charging at the end of the ride. After cleaning the bike, It was charging at a poor 13.1 volts, but after not long as the regulator was getting warm, the volts dropped to 12 to 12.5 volts.
I stripped the whole bike (sub frame, tanks and air box) and cleaned the whole wiring harness and every harness plug. It was still dropping charge as the reg got hot, but could not get more than 13.1 volts, so I replaced the regulator.
With the new reg it showed up to 14.8 volts.(a bit high I thought) I took it riding on a big ride and noticed it fluctuating any where between 13 and 14.6 volts through out the day. At the lunch stop I had 13 volts and by mid afternoon the thing was dead and not charging at all again. Once again, I had to swap battery's with one of those Orange 2 smoker's to get home. Again, please don't tell anyone.
Does anyone have any theory's or experience with this. If the stator is pumping to much power will it be causing the reg to burn out. Does anyone know what resitences they should show or know how to test a reg or stator.
Any help would be appreciated, Jase
