Hi all. My battery will not omit any more than 13v even when revved. Been trying to work out exactly how and if I can test the wiring on the stator. Removed the reg/rect and have tested this and all is well with that so now to the stator. I was trying to see if the wires are all ok so I put the multimeter in all 4 leads green,orange, white and red and get readings between them all except when I select the red wire with any of the others. Can someone tell me please if I am doing this right and where the red lead goes all this is new to me and very frustrating as I havent really a clue what I am doing. Have checked continuity between the green,orange and white wires and every time I get -0.29 Should I now test it with the bike running? Cheers Mark Edited by housewinnie, Nov 9 2016, 12:41 PM.

green white and orange are the only 3 wires you need to check, There is a single pink I think which is connected to cdi. How did you test the rect /reg? on another bike, Never known a stator charging cct fail, only the slow running ignition coil, when that goes bike will not start. It either connections or reg/rect |

Cheers Monty for the help. The only check i have done on the reg/rect is a continuity test and all seemed fine, I do have a new one which i got from rexes speed shop but dont want to put it on till i am sure its the problem. Is there another check i can perform for the stator or should i assume is all ok. or even though the reg/rect continuity/diode test was fine could it still be at fault? cheers so much I have just checked the reg/rect again and when on 2 of the wires i get a reading of .466 and the other one reads .455 could this be a fault or is this normal?

The diode test may be ok, but the reg test you cant do, plug in the new one and see, |

Thats all I needed was a little push will bite the bullet and wire in the new one. Thank you so much again |

New reg/rect fitted 12.5v at battery, turn the key drops slightly, start her up goes up to about 13.2v, rev her fairly hard the most I can get is 13.4v. I think I may be beaten |

Doesnt sound too far off what you would see normally. Are all the connections clean, and have you got a decent ( not a halfords 8 quid jobby) multimeter You can test the output of the stator which I assume is a standard 3 phase thing, by testing the volts across each phase. There should be 3 wires coming from the charging part of the stator and when running you just check the voltage across each set of two wires. They should all be similar at over 2500 revs, and should be quite a few volts, at least around 16 to 20 This info is just general not 604 specific so maybe someone can confirm. But if you are getting 13.4 revs then it all seems to be working. just not as well as you would have hoped. Good luck |

I assume that when you are testing the battery voltage with the engine running, all electrical consumers are off. 13.5 volts with the engine running would be the absolute minimum for the battery to be charging at all. so its either a very very good battery, which needs hardly any charging, or there is a fault somewhere. It may be one of the stator coils which is not working as well as it should, so check for output on them. Have you tried using the bike for a few days, then checking the battery voltage ( engine off) just after you get back. If its still over say 13 volts then your battery is being charged. But also take apart every visible connector on the charging circuit and give them a good clean. Test them for resistance as well. |
