No charge to battery headlight ok

If a single cylinder ohv Briggs its likely a 3 amp unregulated stator. This is all a guess without engine numbers. There are 2 wires coming out from under the flywheel to a white plug. One of the wires has a length of heat shrink over a bulge just before the plug. This is a diode. The diode changes the ac output of the stator to dc and charges the battery. The other wire remains ac and powers the headlights when the engine is running. Test the charging system with a dc voltmeter, positive lead on the wire with the diode, negative lead to a good chassis ground. With engine running at 3/4 throttle you should get a reading of at least 12.7 volts.
If any other configuration I would need model, type, and code off the motor to help diagnose. Also wondering why you question the charging system since they are pretty much bullet proof.

first check out for blown fuses,if they are ok then check the four terminal wire coming out of alternator.it seems to be a problem of loose connection.horn sounds weak because battery is not being charged.

add a battery tender to your battery, put a slow trickle charger on-1/2 to 1 amp or just slightly higher.

Dear,

This is due to the loose connection to the battery. if any of the terminal is kept loose it will drain off the battery.
And may even leeds to unproper battery charge.
Please look into it

thanx

MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS IN A GOOD STATE OF CHARGE, ON THE OLDER BIKES WITH AC LIGHTING THE BATTERY ACTS AS A RESISTOR, HENCE IF THE BATTERY ISOLD AND NO LONGER WORKING, WHEN YOU RUN THE MACHINE ALL THE BULBS WILL BLOW, STARTING WITH THE NEUTRAL LIGHT, AND SO ON, AS THE BRAKE LIGHT , HORN , AND INDICATORS ALL WORK ON THE DC ELECTRIC SIDE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK YOU ARE GETTING 6VOLTS FROM THE BATTERY TO THE IGNITION SWITCH, YOU COULD LOOK FOR BROKEN WIRES AROUND THE HEADSSTOCK AREA, OR CORRODED BLOCK, AND OR BULLET CONECTORS ALSO IN THE COMPLETE HARNES.

I hav same prob, my bullet is 2008 model, from last 8 months frequently i faced tat starting problem cos of battery discharge. nd also i changed whole wiring harness, ammeter, battery, rectifier and coil (total 11000/- ) also bt still i facing tat*** problem... plz plz suggest how can i fix it up


arun gowda

it could be a fuw thigs doing this
to many start ups and no running time to recharge the battery up,,,

dud battery ,,wont hold charge,

bike charger not charging the battery up,,,

voltage regulator leaking battery volts back into charger when motor is not running

burnt out or dud rectifier,,,not charging battery or leaking volts back into charger,,

also too many lights fitted for charger to keep up with the extra load needed,

or matbe even that new "**** warming seat" is killing the battery??? hmm?
not an easy thing to answer

Check petrol filter and if this bike was standing for a while, replace filter and clean tank out after draining..

Hi,
I've not done much work on the Indian Enfield, more on Bsa's/Triumphs etc., However it appears that your charging system may be faulty?
When running can you meter the current to the battery? if 12ish on tickover and up to 13.8/14.5 when revved fine, try popping the side lights on if voltage drops drastically and doesn't improved with increased engine rev's then alternator problem or regulator?
Finally could there be a possible short circuit on the headlight? have you removed the lamp from the surround and looked at the switches rear? make a close inspection of the bulb filliament sometimes they fuse both main and dip beam together causing all sorts of grief.
Hope this helped,
