My charging system hasn't worked correctly since I've owned the bike....about 3 yrs. I have replaced every component in the system and some pieces twice. I've been told that there must be a power wire touching the frame somewhere or maybe that the charging system isn't grounded. I am ready to be done with this problem and need your help! I even brought it to an ''EXPERT'' I told him to fix it and he had it for 20 minutes and said oh, it's the regulator rectifier. I replaced it and the problem went away I thought for about 45 minutes anyway. Please help!!! I'd like to know how to check what and how much voltage is supposed to be where so I can check it all over piece by piece.

There are several possible causes for your bike stuttering and then dying while riding, despite having replaced the spark plugs, coil, and wires. It's worth doing further diagnosis to identify the root cause. Here are some possible reasons why your bike won't start:

1. Fuel delivery: Check to see if your fuel pump is working properly and ensure that your fuel lines and tank are clean and free of debris. If your bike has a carburetor, check to make sure that it's functioning correctly.
2. Electrical system: Check that your battery is charged and in good condition. Also, ensure that the electrical connections are clean and tight. Make sure that the charging system is working correctly, as a bad stator or rectifier can cause similar symptoms.
3. Ignition system: Make sure that the ignition system is working properly. Check the timing and make sure that the ignition switch, kill switch, and key switch are all functioning correctly.
4. Compression: Make sure that your engine has good compression. A compression test can help identify if this is the issue.
5. Other components: Other components, such as the cap and rotor, valve timing, fuel injectors, and camshaft position sensor, may also cause these symptoms.

It may be helpful to consult a mechanic or dealership if you are unable to diagnose the issue. They may be able to provide you with more specific guidance on how to fix the problem.

What age is the bike?
older bike will not charge at idle.
you will know if the bike is charging by measuring theu voltage of the battery with the bike and all accessories switched off if it is a new battery it will be above 13V
A dead battery will be about 11V anything under this and it probably will not recover by charging and you will have to buy a new battery.

ok so lets say the battery is holding 12.5 volts if you start the bike and rev it up and it show higher than 12.5 volt your bike is charging note some bike dont charge under 3000rpm.

test the motor with your own battery. connect the battery directly to the motor if that work is the controller, easy.

Good job in re-seating the cartridges into the printer. Try to insert a different known working cartridge to determine if your other cartridge has gone bad.

If your stator and regulator keep failing, it's generally caused by an overload. Have you added any extra lights or electrical gear to your bike? If so, you may be overloading your charging system. If your bike is equipped with a 42 amp system and when you've got all your stuff running it's drawing 38 amps, your charging system is working to almost capacity to provide the current that is being demanded. This causes the components to run hot and they fail. My advice to analyze your current needs on the bike and look for a system with higher output capacity or take some of the current demanding equipment off the bike. Cycle Electrics builds a "three phase" alternator kit that works well. I've installed several of them and never had a problem. http://www.cycleelectricinc.com/

Hello,

Did you replace the battery or charge it back to capacity?

If your battery is not at full charge or isn't supplying the correct amps to the electrical system, every time you key your CB it will drop the voltage and other electrical components will stop working - or not work properly.

Make sure that your battery is fully charged and the electrolytes are at the proper levels.

If you put a new battery in your Gold Wing, did you buy the correct battery? A cheaper battery will most like cause problems with the electrical system.

That can happen if the jaws inside the chuck, usually 3 triangular pieces get jammed together. With chuck facing down tap chuck several times to loosen jaws. If that doesn't work spray a small amount of WD-40 into chuck and try again

The bike needs the battery to operate those componants and to have a good ignition. Charging or replacing your battery will correct all systems. Leaving the rhe charging stsrem to be ck'd Good Luck, Ned-
