RE: Need some info please
i have always been told that the stator does NOT charge until almost 3K rpms. i'm not swearing by this but i have always gone by it.
a good way to tell would be to put an voltmeter on it and let it idle, then rev it......

i saw a battery voltage major drop from key off to key on
idle voltage went to 14.4 on a warm bike at 1200rpms
so yes initially i thought i was wrong
with the high beam on idling the voltage dropped very slowly but still dropped
it went from 14.4 with the high beam off to 13.9 at idle with the high beam on after 30 mins of running undisturbed

so you can tell me all day long idle will charge the battery and i will admit that i didnt see a drop until the high beam was on but i will trust the evidence my own eyes showed to me over your word anyday. no offense but i dont know you or anything about your cracker jack engineering degree but i do know what i saw for myself

oh look another thread that supports my standpoint
http://www.1000rr.net/forums/showthr...dle&page=2
hey look yet another that says that starting and idling will kill it
http://www.1000rr.net/forums/showthr...=charging+idle
another one with that magic 2500 rpms number
http://www.1000rr.net/forums/showthr...age&page=2
there seems to be a lot people that believe the same way i do, maybe we are all a bunch of idiots but i have been called worse by people i can see face to face.

Is this a joke? We are waaaaaay past this hearsay garbage. 2000, 2500, 3000 RPM which is it? For crying out loud you just saw your battery maintain 14.4 volts at idle. That'sthe same voltage it gets when you're riding the bike, when the engine isathigher RPMs. Connect the dots man. Do you think your battery cares how fast it's moving when it's being recharged?
did you even ****ING read my post you piece of ****.
i watched my battery go from 14.4 volts to 13 volts at idle.
reread then go **** yourself
i am done i have proven my point to myself. you can sprout your BS somewhere else.

Nice meltdown. Yes, I read your post and yes I'm aware that after 30 minutes with the high beam on, your system voltage went from 14.4 volts to 13.9 volts. Did you think this was an indication the battery was being discharged? I hope not, because at 13.9 volts, current is still flowing into (charging) the battery. Do you know what the typical float voltage is for a battery tender? 13.2 to 13.5 volts. And under normal circumstances (high beam off) the battery gets the "full" 14.4V at idle, so even you, with your very limited understanding of batteries have no choice but to admit the battery is being charged.
How were you able to prove anything to yourself when you clearly don't have a sound understanding of the subject at hand? I know you desperately want to be the sole beacon of technical wisdom on this forum, but some subjects are better left to other people. For you, battery charging is that subject.
