To make a long story short the bike was running great even after a 256 mile ride.
Today June 23rd after a short ride the B stopped charging
Limped back to home base in NS,
Stator, voltage reg , rectifier all tested good. Brushes good.
Check all connections , good. Had to be the rotor packing up right?
I decided to confirm that by checking AC out put on each wire. All 3 produced a healthy 45 volts.
I run my test leads to reg then to battery red wire,
To my surprise 14.8 volts.
Ok so can a rotor or regulator fade when hot
At present I’m stumped
Edit
My age is my excuse lol
Yes the rotor can go south when hot.
Looks like I’ll have to wait until home to test .
