charging system

I know i've read threw most of the posts about this, but I just don't understand what is going on. Help me out? The skinny: From engine: Black - field coil ground? Green - field coil 3 whites- ac current I have the r292 VR, the magnet works when energized directly from battery, green receiving...

Hi everyone. I'm starting a charging system thread, and a thousand apologies for that. My issue is, near as I can tell, a new one, and one that's virtually impossible to Google. My problem is that my new combined reg/rec seems to be outputting 12V flat to the battery. Just try searching for...

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my charging system on my '80 xs400, at idle I'm getting 11.36v as I rev it up it will slowly increase in voltage to battery. Is that normal to be such a low voltage at idle? I thought it was supposed to be somewhere in 14v? Some one set me straight...

I have two stators that belong to 81 xs400's. I'm not positive if they are good or not? I tested them on the 200 ohms setting and both stators had readings of 1.2 on all 3 white wires. Are these stators still good? I know the the manual specs say they should read at .75ohms +\- 10% Any help...

So I found this little bastard today. My question is could it have done permanent damage to the rec or generator and if so how can I tell(since I've had the bike it hast run more than an hour total)? Also now that it will be hooked up can I do more damage to possibly hurt parts or am I good to...

Hello, I'm new ad this is my first post. I have an 81 xs400. It generates no charge so when it's running it dies after about ten miles. I (regretfully) took it to a shop that told me the reg/rec were shot. They replaced with 2 in 1 unit marked tmr1003bu. After this they decide stator is shot...
