Battery and RR are linked in this earlier message (https://www.xs400.com/threads/stator-regrec-wiring-question.21606/post-191198), but see below for specifics. https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/cyl10087...

I mean... the stock bike definitely does have both a Regulator and a Rectifier.

The only electrical components left that are stock are the Stator, Field Coil, and Spark Plugs. I've replaced or removed everything else in favor or LEDs, Lithium, or Deletion (turn signals, gauge lights, etc.) Ignition coils seem to run fine, bike runs, it just isn't charging. I 100% get...

I have not, but I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Start with each individual end-component and see if it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Work from the extremities toward the problem. Thanks for the pointer.

Whelp... Time for that update I promised. Short Version: No. New tires, both carbs rebuilt, battery charged on the bench. Finally ready? Made it to the end of my ~1/4 mile dirt road and about halfway back. Then she died on me. Checked the battery and it was Completely drained. So something's...

I wired everything together the way you recommended and I'm not positive we're in business, but I'm reluctantly optimistic... With everything connected and the RPMs up (unsure exactly how high since the tach isn't connected), the voltage across the battery reads around 12.7-13.5. It's not as...

Cap, every time I browse this forum, you're out here coming through for the community. Thank you. The bike actually lived in a cow pasture for about 10 years while I was out doing my time in the Mil. Before that, it was "abandoned" in a different field for an unknown amount of time before...

Gents, be gentle with me here... I'm not a mechanic and this is my first bike. That said, I'm also not a total dummy. I have the manual(s) and have some experience with working on small engines. But if I call the magneto the stator or call the stator the alternator... I'm sorry in advance...

That's exactly what I ended up doing. I looked at the exploded diagram again, read a few more things that said "it just slides out", decided this was what had to happen, and used a block of wood to dampen a 3# hammer to get it out. There were some shavings that came with it where the circlip...

I know this is a longshot and this thread is probably long dead... But I cannot seem to get that rod out. the circlip has been removed, the clutch basket completely removed, and it just does Not pull out of there. The diagram shows there should be nothing else stopping it and it should just...
