    Gotta say once 0:03 more... thanks, you make my hobby fun again... Kawasaki dealer sucked the fun out of wanting to play with bikes... i am a 3 year rider just learning about bikes and stators ans regulators and test meters... bikes were never a part of my life and as a 65 yr old i want to have fun learning something new and your video brought it back to where it should be... a fun hobby...

    Hi Jack, great to see you.
    I purchased a kit off you for my K6 750 a few years ago, after never-ending dramas with other products.
    (unfortunately I hadn't seen your kits earlier!!!)
    For the next few years of ownership, that bike was flawless.
    Thank you so much for the kit, the voltage LED display unit, and the piece of mind riding I enjoyed from then on!

    There are a lot of us in the field who fully do not understand the basics of a float charging system such as in small engines, cars and motorcycles. And it gets complicated when the charging coils get labeled single or double or even three phase operation. Your video and your bench display of the alternator operation is right on target. Just remember that when everything is working, you have two 12 volt sources of power tied parallel or bridged together. One is your storage battery (DC) and the other is the engine turning a rotating magnetic field (AC) which is converted to DC. Two DC sources and 1 or more loads all connected together. Both power sources, and all loads are connected. AT some magical rpm the power from the charger will be equal to the power demand on the battery and the lights will get as close to the 12 volt load point as you will ever see. If your lights dimmed it is because the alternator is not turning fast enough to match the power demand for the lights. Idle it up a bit and observe the result. More RPMs generate a little more power and 12 volts load point is maintained. Our battery should never be discharged below about 30 percent or the life of the battery (lead acid) is shortened. Each time we run the batt down we shorten its life. The system is designed around that concern so that we don't waste horsepower just to run a charging system.

    I've had a lot to do with advice and repairs on kawasaki charging systems. In particular ZX12R'S.
    You've said about wiring the phases direct ie- hard solder each phase to the regulator ,yes i agree as plug n play sockets often burn out if plug in connections are poor.
    As for testing the coils in the stator you need a good quality multi meter to read off 0.3 -- 0.5 ohms that most coil resistances are.
    The ultimate test is to read all 3 phase coils in turn for the output voltage with the motor running. On the ZX12R the AC voltage across each phase pair has to be around 85 volts AC to a max of 120 volts AC and equal volts across each phase pair at 4000 rpm. If any phase is down on volts chances are the stator is toast and will need replacing. Some guys test to chassis which wont reveal anything as the stator is fully insulated againt chassis. You test 1 -- 2 2 -- 3 3 -- 1 coil connections to take an AC volts output reading. A lot of charging failures are from poorly maintained plug connections within the system.

    Hi, Jack. Great info and well explained. Let's go down vintage bike memory-lane with a '73 Norton Commando Production Racer, single-phase Lucas stator, stock charging system.
    What's the Ohm reading I should expect to see between the two alternator leads? Also, the first Commandos had a volt meter in the headlamp shell; this one is a later one with the Lucas "assimilator" controlling a charging "idiot light". I'm assuming SH847 installation will involved removal of old Lucas stack-of-plates rectifier and the Zener grounding diode and also with each alternator lead attached to one of the three input wires (third insulated off).
    What's the connection for signal to the assimilator and the emergency capacitor (I'm assuming just off the hot side of the battery with no direct involvement of the charging system, right?)
    Thanks

    Roadstercycle Jack ? This Honda XR650L hybrid to electric motorcycle idea hit me. the idea is you install a big electric hub motor with rim and tire to front of Honda XR650L. add a nice size pannier behind seat for battery pack and controller. then connect a DC to AC inverter to the motorcycle battery with a surge protector between the battery charger and DC to AC inverter, with a switch between the battery charger and battery pack. when the motorcycle gas motor is running it will turn on DC to AC inverter to turn on the battery charger, to charge the battery pack while running on gas. My question to you is, can the Stator for this motorcycle handle the power when it comes to charging ? like 3000-6000 watts if not, how could we beef up the Stator so it can ?

    Hello sir. I just came across this video and it really helped me understand the view of how the flow of charging system works. My current situation is that 06 Suzuki GSX-R 600 died on me at a stop light the other day. Now I see it could be the generator, regulator or battery. Got the battery tested and it came back "good". Still have to narrow down the other 2 components. Also, prior to the dying at the red light, I have been experiencing some power dimming when I shifted If that helps. If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. I know your busy. Thanks for your time sir.

    @koningbolo4700 3 года назад

    I bet you get a zillion questions about the 2% of the bike who do have a car like alternator system.
    My bike is russian Dnepr with such a car like alternator. These alternators are (to put in blunt) a piece of sheit - pardon my french. So I like to see if I can do something to get the charging ball rolling more reliably. I was looking at stators from other bikes and looking into ways of spinning the correct pieces to end w=up with a reliable charge.
    Since a bike hardly (if at all) charges at a stoplight I was thinking of fitting a modern stator and a magnet rotor onto the hind wheel axle of the dnepr bike.
    What do you think about such an idea? Maybe too low rpm to get anything useful or could it work??

      That's a good question. I would just give it a try as I don't believe it will hurt anything if it does not work. It may have been for an excited rotor on the Honda to control the rotor magnetism. I think the R/R will still regulate the voltage without the rotor control.

When the bike is at cold start my battery seem like it's charging when I have a voltage meter on it.

      Hi, The stator wires can be hooked up in any order as they are ac voltage so there is no dedicated positive or negative. Check your bike for a draw when it is shut off to see if something is draining the battery. Do this by taking a battery cable off and hooking a test light in between. If it comes on then there is a draw. Go to my website and get my phone number and call me if you need help more.

    I have a 2014 Kawasaki Voyager VN 1700, dropped in a LifeP04 battery, great battery, I have a USB/voltmeter outlet, it reads 17 volts when running at speed. Question: Is this due to lead acid charge profile? Or is the regulator suspected to be bad? Is there a regulator for LifeP04 batts?

      Hi, over charging is a failing or failed regulator. Regulators don't have a profile they just regulate voltage and watt output.

    I just found your video. I have this problem with my Honda VFR. I have the excitation wire or signal wire as they call it at Honda, and my reg/rec puts out 16v or so. So I change the reg/rec, but it does the same thing with the brand new. Then I put a shunt between signal wire and positive wire and everything settled down to 14.5v. The problem is, I can’t shut down the engine anymore. I guess it bypasses the ignition. Do you have any solutions? Thx.

    • @Roadstercycle
      @Roadstercycle  7 месяцев назад

      The reason your bike does not shut off now is because your are back feeding the ignition switch through the excitation wire. You could put a diode in the side of the excitation wire on the ignition side so it does not back feed or put an extra switch on that wire to shut it off when you are done riding. If you did not get that replacement R/R though Honda and you bought it off Ebay or Amaazon that is the bigger problem, not a lot of quality control on those R/Rs.

    • @liviumistor5693
      @liviumistor5693 7 месяцев назад

      I think that is the problem here. I don’t think that is the excitation wire. Honda calls it signal wire because it gets attached the R/R through the + or red wire to tell the R/R to limit the voltage at 14.5v. At least that is what is shown on the electrical system diagram. The signal wire (black) connects to the + wire (red) of the R/R. And it should all make sens but looks like the reality is different . When I follow the signal wire on the diagram, it meets the red wire of the R/R and that is the end of it….. Too bad I can’t attach the electrical system diagram. @@Roadstercycle
