Stator bad?

[clothednblack]

I don't have a spare one unfortunately.

Check each of your wires separately to the reg/rec for continuity and resistance. We found a section of wire that looked good on Joedrum's hooch that was broken inside. 30 year old wires can gain a lot of resistance too.

If this helps.In the video He is testing with the yellow wires hooked up and meter set to DC, if they are disconnected you use AC and the reading should be 50 V or higher from yellow to yellow, not to ground..

Just did this
1-2 1-3 2-3 and 2 wires give nothing for the ohm test and 1 wire gives me . 32 using 20k

Tomorrow I will test with wires plugged in. Already reconnected the stator wires, not sure what the reading is supposed to be when checking the reg with wires unplugged.

Unfortunately your stator has failed if you are confident that your meter readings are correct.

Those readings were for the test of the reg end, not the stator end. Sorry if that previous post was confusing.

Can't work on it today, roof is getting replaced, bike is covered up and protected.

Welcome to Classics from PA!

Thanks for the welcome!

Here is the area that you should untape and separate to check the connections and also do the stator phase test from this point as this will test the wiring.

Will do, as soon as I get a new battery

Picked up a new battery, it's charging now and pealed off the tape.

Connections look good at the r/r end. Can you find the position around the tank frame where the stator wires join the harness and I tested my stator ( originally bullet connectors) ?

Phase pair 1

Click on the picture and you will see the yellow phase wires going to the r/r in the harness. You will also see a test of one phase using the multimeter on the ohm/ resistance scale.

 

[clothednblack]

Those (near the tank frame, along side the battery) are the one's I cut because they were soldered, now has quick connects. I used those for the original test (like your pic). As soon as the battery is ready, I will do the phase 1 test and report back here. It will be a few hours

 

[Ansimp]

Could you possibly do the test with your multimeter and post pictures like I did so that we can advise you correctly on your testing procedure and outcomes?

Absolutely, I will post pics of all three phase tests and readings.

 

[clothednblack]

I did the connected test, if I did it wrong, please let me know. I'm new to testing systems like this.

Edit: the video link disappeared, just remembered that I have to test to ground while running.... Standby.

 

[Ansimp]

Your stator readings look fine. You don't need to do the running test to check the ground. You can just go from the leads to ground. Try running your bike with the new battery and checking the voltage at the battery when it is running at idle and then at 3000 rpm.
