charging

hey guys, Tried to read some of the older posts on this subject, but couldn't find anything specific to my problem. It seems my battery is not charging properly to a point where the electric starter won't tick over anymore. I tested the power on the battery and whilst the engine is not running...

My 04 550 doesn't appear to be charging the battery. The battery was replaced last year and when I put a charger on it, holds the charge and starts right up. The headlight works when its running, but it seems like the battery isn't charging. If the headlight works, does that mean that it should...

Hi all, Just obtained a converted 02 550FC to supermoto. My gripe is that the lights are running off of the alternator which is fine up until the bike stalls in the dark.The wiring used to make the conversion looks pretty much identical to the ones from the FE or FS bikes. Been thinking of...

I´m changing the standard battery to an YTZ14S, and off course changing it to under the seat, to fit. In 2002 the wiring has one yellow connected to a regulator, and to the lights and horn, so not charging the battery. The other yellow a regulator/rectifier, and to the battery and start...

Hi every body and a happy new year. My bike is currently suffering post Christmas depression and has decided not to charge the battery. The DC out put to the battery is 8v and doesn't pick up with revs, similarly the AC volts to the head light are about the same 8vac, the lights are...

:? help!!! I have a 98 fx600 that has never charged the battery.I charge the battery each ride.changed the regulator and rectifier. checked voltage between yellows and ground - 8 vac at idle 30 vac reved up.7 -16 vac between blue and ground. 3-13 vac between blue and yellow. not sure what it...

problem: i installed a baja designs dual sport kit on my 02 fx470 and am not getting charging voltage. the rectifier reg they gave me has four leads. two yellow that are labled stator. a red and black that go across the battery. the lights and everything run off the battery. so I...

I have a charging probleme with my 4oo fee 2ooo,my rectifieur regulateur is new but i realised that my alternateur stop producing voltage vhen i'm start reving the bike. Did some one have encounter the same problem and how did you repair the fault. merci

hi everyone! Is it safe to charge the battery when it is mounted in the bike? the thing is that dismounting the battery is a chore and I want to avoid it if possible. Thanks everyone.

I'm having battery issues (I think). The problem I am having is that I have just put my second new battery in and I can fully charge it ( 2 amp charger etc.) it will spin and fire when hot but if I ride for more than 10 minutes the battery is not strong enough to spin the engine over. The bike...

I have an 05 fs 650c which i put lights on with a lighting wire from an 04 e model. the light is working fine but the brand new battery doesn't seem to charge. the electric start doesnt work. did i do something wrong? why is the electric start not working anymore? thanks, edwin

hi guys, just few minutes ago i manage to start my 1994 fe 600 WITHOUT the freaking charging coil :D :D the charging coil (black and red leadings) is always the one that gets open and causes all the problems at the sem stators. i only used 1 component for this operation and the results...

Please can somebody help, I have just got my bike ( 01 FC470) back from Dave Clarke Racing after having an e-start kit fitted. My problem is that they didn’t put a charging circuit back to the battery, they did however supply me with what I think is a rectifier and was told it gets...

My 03-FE501E doesnt seem to be charging the battery. I have 12.6v at the battery when not running, and basically same volyage when started and reving. ie no detectable voltage change. Both yellows of the stator read from 10-50+ V AC the higher the revs the higher the voltage. The red...

I have checked all my connections and they are tight ( I have not checked under the ground to see if the paint was removed). If I charge it with a battery tender I get about ten starts before the battery goes dead. I just did a 150mile ride and it didn't even save enough juice to turn the...
