Hello everyone i am new to this forum i will post in the new members a bit later

I have recently brought a 2000 cbr600f Fhsh gd condition great bike BUT the battery went dead last week so i replaced with a brand new one it lasted a day then it started missfiring at low revs and finally died and bat was dead i done a voltage test at the battery and was at about 12volts at idle and went up to 13 at about 5k so thought it was fine rode home and the bike cut out at around 40mph and wouldnt start.

tryed bumping it but wouldnt idle. I got the bike home by swapping the battery for my old one. I thenb retested the voltage at battery and was only the 12volts so thought the R/R was dead so i put a new one on and voltage was at 13.8 GREAT but after 2/3mins the R/R gets burning hot! it was so hot the top of the R/R bubbled up like a balloon, so hot it blistered my finger surly this is not right? any ideas guys really need this sorted im thing stator? or am i missing something?

Thanx for reading my essay but wanted to detailed
thanx mark

 

if im not mistaken your stator has three yellow wires coming from it. Check the AC current from those to ground. it should be up there around the battery voltage or higher. This is done with the bike running, rev here up to like 5k or so
