Rgeulator/Rectifier issue
Hey everybody... been awhile.
Ill try and keep this short.. lol. 2002 F4i.. Yesterday unusually long charging time on trickle charger. Yellow forever, never green. I test the charging system.. Bike off...................DC 13.01v Bike running/idle....DC 12.75v Throttle @4000rpm.DC 12.68v Replaced stator last year.. new battery and taken care of. Stored inside on trickle in winter. Ok so? R/R.. Test diodoes on R/R.. got the .0L readings on 6... 5 out of the 6 opposite readings between 0.425-0.420 With one being zero.. so fried R/R.. ok.. Happened to have another R/R here that was sure worked. Plugged er in and did the charging system test. Bike off..................... DC 12.79V Bike running/idle.......DC 13.59V Throttle @ 4000rpm DC 14.20V So i think great right? Just to be sure i checked the diodes for the R/R that seems to be working.. heres where it gets weird. I got perfect 6 readings 0.465-0.425 But for the readings that should be .0L i got values of 2.325-2.232..... never one 0L???? Now does this mean the R/R is drawing more power from the stator and isnt a bad thing or is it gonna fry my battery or pcm or what? The R/R is off ebay.. wasnt exsctly the cheapest thing i found. I tey to order from northa american companies but im sure most of its from china regardless lol. Maybe around $80 with shipping but not an OEM part from the dealer that wanted $200... Any thoughts? Anybody good with elcetrical like this? |
I think I'd just run it if I were you. Its charging so its doing its job. I have no idea about the values and how they make it react with other stuff though.
