Voltage regulator readings - is it garbage?

Post by Jamezzz »

alright so ive been having trouble recently starting the bike unless its been boosted all the time. after it runs it will start a handful of times and then will be dead again. just trying to figure out if its the voltage regulator or not, i got 2 readings:

1500rpm - 13.2V
5000rpm - 12.9V

sound about right or a little low at 5000rpm? any other rpms i should check it at?

Both readings are too low follow the flow chart here. http://www.fzronline.com/wiki/doku.php? ... flow_chart If its the VR and you have the old rectangular (no cooling fins) VR fitted, seach for the r6 VR upgrade and fit that.

The dangers of boost charging a motorcycle battery have been covered in a recent thread. You should only ever use a motorcycle battery charger.
