had the same problems on the way to sturgis on my shovel and had to trailer from KC to Platte.mcotie said:Hey anyone know what a good voltage/amp output for a late Evo stator should be? I've looked around on the ninternet and found a some different numbers.
at the plug on the block, mine is putting out 10V at idle and about 35-45V at about 2K rpm.
I lost a battery the other day and can't figure out why; except my positive terminal connection was a little loose.
I recently put a new voltage regulator on (after my old one started shitting the bed) and the battery went dead a couple of hundred miles after that. thought maybe my stator might be weak.
I know most of ya don't mess with evo's but....
thanks,

I did all of that and my readings were normal. but my battery voltage, while idling, was sitting at/around 12.80. sounds too low right?BadMonkeyMW said:You want to do a static check to make sure you have continuity(i.e. no resistance) between the two terminals of the stator plug, and then check each individual terminal to the case and make sure you're not grounding(i.e. you want infinite resistance). Other than that, fire the bike up and check DC voltage at your battery terminals. If you're not getting 13.5-14.3 then you know you're not charging.
no, I know I have a regulator because I already changed itel_butche said:you have a voltage regulator...
or you'd melt your battery.
its a "finny" box in front of the case most likley.
at idle you'll read lower that operating revs...
run it up to 2500-3000 and check.. you should be 14.0-14.5 at the battery.

. But I think my stator is going out ; that's why I wanted to be sure my voltage output from the plug on the block was sufficient.
