Default Regulator/Rectifier

Does anybody know how to test the R/R? I have an 88 1000 Hurricane and the manual doesn't tell how to test mine. Are the R/Rs interchangeable with other years? I think mine might be going bad or I have a wiring problem.

Put a multimeter on it.

At idle it should be showing around 13.8v

At 5000rpm it should be around 14.5v

If it showing less or not increasing at all when you rev the bike then its cactus.

If the regulator part just blows than it will show around 15v on onwards and will boil your battery dry.

Tons of info on this site for the R/R.A search should provide all the info you will need. Here are some links from this site that I keep handy:
