Howdy ya'll,
I am now a proud owner of a 1981 CB750F Super Sport. This is my first bike. Literally bought it yesterday. Riding it back from the guy I purchased from yesterday and the battery died on the freeway. I was able to make it home and I left the battery on the tender overnight. The previous owner said it was a good battery and relatively new. Can fire the bike up, and using a multimeter I confirmed that the battery is not being charged, regardless of the RPM. Battery terminals appear clean, and I haven't identified any bad grounds as of yet. Is there something I should be looking at before I test the stator/voltage regulator? If I was to test the charging system for proper function, how would I go about doing that? Unfortunately I do not have a manual for the bike. I'm relatively new to electrical so any input would be much appreciated! Also, happy to be a new member of this forum!
