hey guys...i really enjoyed your low key but very informative video...this teaching/how to/diy video shows well...the video is very clear and the info given is not rushed so the diy biker has full understanding ...nice`n slow and to the point and in plain basic english etc etc....good stuff...gonna watch this one again...my 89 evo decker with the lights on i can go no problem but if i shut the bike down for a stop she won`t start up and all i hear his the battery click....i have to boost the 89 battery and ride home ....bike is on trickle charger overnite and will start up no problem....when i ride this bike it has to be during the day with no lights on....i`m gonna get my circuit tester working again (needs batteries)....thanks again for the info video...i`ve got some work to do....the only problem is...here in Ontario, Canada our riding season is so damn short you don`t want your bike on the shelf for any length of time...3 old harleys is alot of work especially if i do all the work...my plate is full....thanks again

at 4:18.... How do i check for the resistance? I understand the readings but where am i placing my meter testers?

[@iMaNii4k]

Did you ever figure it out? I need the same information

[@TheJames1961]

Yes this will help me fix mine! Thank you jamesD. From Chidambaram Ga.

Can a bad stator cause a overcharge? Having a high voltage on a 2017 Harley 117

[@chrisbement293]

I got an 89 heritage stator come apart on the inside the bike pulled the wires loose which one's the ground and which one is positive or does it make a difference

[@chrisphilhower6029]

I used to work as an Auto Tech. One thing I would've done. Charge the Battery before checking the New Regulators Voltage. Reason is, I have seen New Alternators fail shortly after install. Why? The Alternator was running 100%(Or more) Capacity trying to recharge an almost dead battery. Another thing, He did a Continuity Test without announcing it ahead of time. To save some confusion on future videos.

[@stephenchilders130]

I have had that happen on my Cadillac.

[@rommelguapo5978]

Nice the easy way to learn how to check the charging system of harleythank you guys.

[@joshualongoria975]

Does the return wire matter and where do we attach it?

[@lionellavallee1919]

what if the reading on multimeter did not go up on the voltage output test. would that mean a bad stator??

[@topflight2358]

which one is the continuity ?

[@dennisharrison4744]

Think my battery is bad its a agm duracell just month old i put new rectifier on my bike couple weeks after i put the battery in its charging 14.4 battery got like 12.7 volt turn key on it drops fast to 12.1

[@theone2be33]

What about that thingymagiggy thingambob?

[@edesir]

Sometimes when you’re stuck on the road you think of everything else that could be your problem except the simple things like the battery is not charging.

[@Q5Grafx]

ok on yours you were getting a low reading at high idle. at 1900 rps i am getting an 18.65 volt reading is this also a bad regulator?

[@elmerfox6872]

Did you ever find out if 18.65 bolts was bad regulator or stator

[@SaintBelmont]

Change your regulator before it blows your battery up lol.

[@Victor-wz6fv]

Your not goings to get a proper reading off the battery unless you bring the rpm up to around 1800-2000. Then go from there.

[@TechnMoto]

Great video thanks
