Nice work folks. While going through your steps to do a dynamic stator test my stator performed just as you explained for a three phase stator. AC voltages at example RPM's. The thing that left me stumped was my Shop Manual states that an AC voltage reading should be between 10 and 12 VAC. Not giving any engine speed. At idle it is producing 17 VAC. Increased engine speeds also increased VAC. Should I assume this as a typo and direct my attention towards the rectifier? This is on a 2005 Bombardier Outlander 330 HO 4x4.

I had one go bad on a scooter that showed working correctly until a long drive at night and the volts dropped. was the regulator heating up and maybe a diode or scr going open. great basic test! 6 diodes on 3 phase. getting a service manual for your bike ETC is a big help.

Sorry we didn't get back to you sooner. Did you get the problem fixed? What machine is this on, year make and model? I want to look at the wiring diagram. Unplug the reg/rec and check each wire coming out of it to make sure they are all insulated from the body of the reg/rec. I think that is the only test a manual won't show but if you have continuity on any of those to ground then it's bad. I've only seen it where the positive to the reg/rec body is in the K ohms or Mega ohms and drains the battery over night. Have you checked the voltage at the battery with and without the machine running? With it running, rev the engine a up and make sure the voltage doesn't go over 14.7 ish Volts. If it goes above, then the reg/rec is bad. Sounds like you already checked the diodes, so if the other checks are ok then start looking for a short to ground somewhere. -Charles

Hi folks. I have a Honda VF750f Interceptor which I am restoring.My issue is this , having got the bike running, after a while I noticed the battery was starting to cook so I did some electrical tests and found that the battery was being charged at 18.5 volts. I did multi meter tests on the alternator and regulator and found the alternator to be fine but the regulator was not. So replacing the regulator and battery solved the problem. the battery is new but I've used a second hand regulator I had, but it works. My problem know is that in running the engine up to temperature to then adjust carb settings I had the seat off of the bike and when I put my hand on the seat rail above the regulator and touched the regulator with my finger and got severely burnt. I now the regulator runs worm but surely not that hot. I noticed that as from standard the regulator is mounted on a stiff plastic board and not on a metal plate which I would have thought would of acted as a heat sink. Should it run this hot , or do you think this is why the previous regulator ended up over charging ? What could you recommend to solves this suspected over heating. Many thanks, Mike.
