Testing the charge output

(1/4) > >>

Andy1976:
The wires coming from the alternator are looking abit suspect, the plastic covering the wire is split and I can see bare copper on some of them.
could someone tell me how to test it to see if it's charging the battery properly? 
I've bought myself a multimeter today but I'm not sure how to test it.

Thanks again
Andy

Bryanj:
Have you got the Honda manual cos its all explained in great detail in there?

Andy1976:
All i've got is the Haynes manual.

Bryanj:
On the US site there are links to down load a genuine one, I have all the 750 "Blue Book" Dealer Manuals on a CD but cant afford to send it out for nothing.

In that is a comprehensive list of tests to perform on your charging circuit to test for faults.

Basic test is battery voltage at various revs BUT using a GOOD FULLY CHARGED battery

Remember that these dont charge at all bellow about 2,500rpm and struggle to charge with the lights on especially if you upgrade to Halogen headlamp.

Thanks Brian.
Manged to download it from US site ok.
