RR24 redux

<< < (3/3)

AshimotoK0:
Make sure that there is infinite resistance between any of the three stator coil wires (yellow) and the laminated magnet frame they are wound on ( obviously with the wires disconnected from the loom). Because the stator is 'Dry' on the 350/400/4 you can get corrosion and resistance leakage to ground. I had two alternators go bad that way and the bikes were less than ten years old at the time. Any original fitment alternator stator is getting on a bit now.

Problem with forums ( this one is better than most) is that you can get a flurry of posts and yours get's buried. We are a friendly bunch on here and we don't send people to Coventry  8)

These posts are very interesting, this weekend i have been working on  my 750 sohc chopper which has a home made loom, most of the wiring is one colour and and absolute fucking mess, the bike is not charging and it has a no name regulator rectifier on it, my understanding of these bikes is that you have to power the field coil which makes a magnetic field in order for the generator to work, i am going to have to go on the honda chopper site to see how they do a minimalist loom that works with an aftermarket reg/rectifier
Sorry to jump in with nothing constuctive but i will watch this posting with interest
Oh yes,  Andrew its not often people get flamed on here, dont take it it to heart ignore the pain and it will go away LOL
