Well guys i fixed all the oil leaks w/ genuine kaw gaskets 68.68 cents worths.I saddle the old tank up and head out,stopped to visit some friends stopped to gas it up,stop a little later,now the tank won't start,so i finally get the bike to run,acted like a dead battery get it back to my shop go buy a new battery, because the volts are down to like 10 volts dc and the battery is 3 yrs old,bike runs perfect for a day,now we're basck to the won't start shit again. I got the bike back to my shop today,started checking the charging system for problems,checked the volts at the battery w/ bike off 11.5 volts,checked at battery w/ bike running 12.7 volts rev her up 2 4 grand not much fluxuation in volts at all,maybe a couple tenths.So i disconnected the alt.wiring harness and checked the three yellow alt wires w/ the bike running checking for ac volts, checked all 3 in turns and came up with 20-23 volts ac on the idle,50-52 volts ac @ 4,000 rpms.Think the alt. is ok ???
I also checked the resistance in the stator , w/ the bike not running, set ohms meter to RX1 and stator checks out at infinite,jus the same as checking each yellow wire through ground.I'm thinkin the stator checked out for lunch what do you guys think about the situation. This bike is starting to pi$$ me off!!!
For you guys that don't know what im riding, the bike is a 1985 kawasaki ltd 1100,the only thing i have done to the electrical circuit is do away w/ the stock brains and installed a dyna 2000 box, dyna coils & pickup module.
Sorry guys i posted this in the engine dept., it should have been put in electrical category,i don't know how to move it so i one of the administrators wanna move it please do.
