Hi there,
I have an alternator issue. I first started to work on it because my battery wasn't keeping the charge. So I got a brand new battery, brand new regulator/rectifier (wanted to get those small lithium battery anyway). But I realize that I have no Volts coming out of my Alternator (3 yellow wires coming from the starter coil)
I checked the starter coil and the field coil with my ohmmeter and they seems to be in a perfect shape. So now I feel that the issue could only come from the Rotor but I'm not sure. And I don't really know how to test it. All I can find online is about DOHC rotor testing.
Does anybody would have more clue about the cause of my alternator having no Volts?
Do you also think that it must be the rotor? Do you guys know how to test it? (I can't pull the rotor off the bike currently, I'm waiting for a Rotor extractor in the mail)
Tks in advance. This shit is driving me nuts
