bad stator, regulators, or alternator? Help please!!!!!
Hello there guys... Been having a little issue lately. this will be the second regulator I have to replace on my 87 hurricane and the fourth overall to date on the bike.any ideas why my regulators keep going bad? I want to get to the root of the problem so I don't spend unnessesary time and money...:icon_doh:

They'll keep burnin' up if repeatedly used with old weak batteries.

I had a similar problem - I think you'll find that one of your stator/alternator coils is burnt - it's not obvious when you strip it down, but if you check the resistances you'll probably find they are off spec.
I tries to have mine rewound but it wasn't successful. Fitted a replacement stator/alternator cover and problem solved. As Sprock says, a weak battery is not an ideal situation, and causes the reg/rec to have to work harder also. I fitted a new battery and new reg/rec and 6 months later the problem was back, so fitted replacement stator 3 years ago. Fine since. |
Awesome feedback on this issue...will be checking that out...I have to find the book for my bike 'cause is somewhere in the boxes from the move so I could get the correct readings for that stator...Thanks sprock and shadow...cheers!!!!!!

Will a r/r from an 88 work on a 90?

thanks for the info guys...right now she's getting work done on the fairings to get them ready for paint... I chose the cooper looking color of the mitsubishi lancer, and similar to the jeep wrangler cooper, with the original black stripes from a 90 up model 1k...Got an extended(about 4") , original, swingarm a buddy had that he had forgoten was there and a set of early 900rr wheels that will be painted black...As soon as I finish her up will try to post pics...Thanks!!!!!!!! Much love from the carribbean and ride safe!!!!

Here's an update... Still working on the fairings... Bought a new motobatt gel battery for her... Found a used in good condition alternator cover with the winding inside for 25 bucks but from a 91 model...would it fit my 87? Honda had said that the engines had remained unchanged throughout their run so it should fit???????
