Thread locked, why ask me a Question when you Know I cant Respond? you know you locked the thread :headscratch: Is it some new moderating skill? And what would your response be if - without having the vehicle in front of him to carry out his own basic checks - this individual was to say, "This *IS* ...

This post will prolly be deleted So im saving it

Have a good day

Heh - isn't English a lovely language?! An open circuit, like an open switch, isn't connected at all points, so no current flows. A closed circuit / closed switch has all the pieces joined, and the magic happens. The diodes you tested had failed 'open' due to excess current flow through the diode. ...

An over-volted diode fails closed (the "wire effect" is a comment I came across), an over-amped diode fails open. An open diode means nothing flows, nothing happens; a failed-closed diode means the possibility of AC current in a DC system - ucky. :yuck: What so an Open diode means nothing flows, a ...

Hmmm... The Topic/Subject

Died while riding, wouldnt start back up

Yeah I always say if my bike dies while riding that I have 0 issues with it NOT!!

Starting to drift from the original topic ... This is the second VRR I've heard tell of where it is undercharging AND presents with a melted connector. There are two possible culprits for a "failed-low" VRR that I can think of , either a rectifying diode fails open (removing one phase winding from ...

Some of you may know this some may not. Even if a connection/contact looks clean it can still cause issues (resistance) believe me on that. On some metals you cant see the oxidation, If it looks clean clean it. I always always always use a watchmakers screwdriver to scrape the male terminals on ever...

Well I just took some more readings and now I'm getting different stuff @ 3000 rpms I am getting 40. 7, 40.1, and 39.8 vac coming out of the stator and the resistance reading on the stator is .6, .6, and .5 ohms. I cut off the pigtail that was melted and re wired the vrr just to make sure it was ge...

ramster often refers to a trouble-shooting chart that specifies 40-60vac, while ReelRazor has suggested 30-60vac. This really is something to be tested imperically - find a bike with 30vac across all 3 legs, a good battery, and a known-good VRR, then determine if the battery is being properly charg...

i don't remember what the resistance was off hand right now, i will go back out to the garage later and retest it. And i know the connections are behind the cover i had the whole stator out and looked it over Ok this is an old thread, (im not re-reading all the posts) from what I remember your a me...

And the stator resistances are... sorry but we aint mind readers :headscratch: Usually a high resistance on the stator = dry solder joints, low resistance = windings that are shorting. Both conditions can an do = low AC output. BTW the solder joints are on the actual stator (inside the stator cover)

The spark plug cap has a small spring, resistor and the brass screw (the brass bit is the part that connects to the spark plug top thread. This bit can become loose (it screws in) and results in burning the top of the contact, spring or resistor. You could even dump the resistor's then replace them...

If you have 30-ish vac across each of the three pairings of white wires, your VRR has failed low. If any pair gives less than 30, you have a bad stator winding. Wrong. The melted plug is never a good sign; check the security and condition of the ground wire at the battery and at the engine. You cer...

The most important thing hasn't been mentioned.

NO spacer = the cam chain won't be over stressed (too tight) the chain tensioner will survive, and NOOOOOO damn adjustable cam gears needed.

The very best of luck, don't think you'll need it though.

Mod hat on - incessant sneering and name-calling, even of people not present, is unacceptable. Disagreement with an otherwise reasonable suggestion is one thing, but getting in a snit is pointless. Why should you care if you get banned? Because you then have a greatly reduced ability to help. You d...
