I'm on call next weekend, if I'm in Torquay I'll call in and get paid double time for sorting your bike out.
Check the regulator is connected to OV. Best way is to put red meter lead on battery + and check with black lead on regulator negative (green wire). If meter shows 12V(ish) then you reg. is connected to negative. If it don't show 12V on the meter then that's your problem ; reg not earthed.
Yes you've got to have an earth on it otherwise it can't measure the battery voltage. Imagine birds sitting on a high voltage wire. It's only high voltage compared with earth. High voltage on it's own isn't any voltage otherwise the birds would get fried.Same with a voltage regulator. It can only measure the voltage if there's a something to measure against.
You could always run a cable from negative terminal of battery to the earth terminal of the reg/rectifier to discount the possibility of a dodgy earth within the loom.Sent from my X6pro using Tapatalk
Niko I'll try anything.. can u explain in a little more detail. I see the green wire coming from the frame, that then goes where???Thanks Alan
