So about 2 years ago my bike suffered from a dead battery while out riding one day and turns out the rotor went south and I ended up replacing it. I will admit, I have not tested the regulator/rectifier at all so that will be my starting point here soon I think. The problem is, since replacing the rotor, I am getting 14v at the battery with the bike running but the issue is, I dont think its putting out the amperage it should cause I will charge my battery and for a few weeks it will start great and run really good then eventually it will not want to start, flood easy when on a cold start, but once its running, it runs ok. But if again put the battery on the charger for a while, it will again start up perfect and super easy, and run just fine. The battery was replaced about a year ago but even did it with a brand new battery. My bike only has a headlight and a tail light (l.e.d.) so I know other than the ignition system there is no big draw on the battery. I guess what my question is, is there any way to test the amperage output of the charging system? I know the voltage is there but I dont think its putting out enough amperage to keep up with the draw. And could that be a regulator/rectifier issue or would that be more of a rotor/stator issue? I have just gotten use to throwing the bike on the charger after I go riding but would like to not have to do that all the time.
Sorry for the long winded post. lol Thanks.
