so this happened to me a few weeks back and I fix it by moving the wires on the rectifier/regulator, but before i did that, i bought a new battery thinking it was the battery but it did the same thing, i jumped it and it started and ran good, until i shut it off and tried to start it back up.

now i moved the wires on the rectifier/regulator and checked them they look good and not lose, but the only way the bike will start is jump starting it or charging the battery...any help and suggestions will be appreciated....

 

check that wiring, r/r, and r/r plug. put a voltmeter on the battery and see if its charging as well.

 

okay im gonna try that tomorrow..i will post the results thank you...

 

Disconnect the R/R. Follow the directions for troubleshooting. Report back. Check the leads to the R/R as well. Hook the battery up to a NOT RUNNING car via jumper cables. Run the bike on that, check the AC voltage coming from the stator between each of the 3 yellow lines. At any given RPM they should be producing identical voltage.
