Hello all,
So, I've been working on this for the past few day and I'm stumped. I disconnected the stator wires from where they go into the R/R. With the 3 yellow wires I got 0 voltage with the engine running. Also I could not detect any magnetism from the rotor with the engine running. Would this point to a bad rotor? The rotor slip ring resistance test passed as well as the continuity test on the stator. Basically, no voltage is making it back to my battery.
Really confused,
Al
Edit: when the bike hits 4-5k rpms it starts missing. I guess the coils can't keep up with demand. I would think that this means the rotor is shorting out at higher rpms. Is that a correct diagnosis?
Editx2: How does the rotor become magnetized? Is it from the brushes?
