Checked battery connections and were fine.
Street glide battery not charging.
If you take regulator physically off bike and lift only ground wire and then do first test and 12v reading went away then problem probably in regulator.
These projects never go as smoothly as we would like stupid wire got it done in the end and now back to rid.
Checked for shorts or opens on stator.
Bob walks through some system checks to make sure everything is working and the electricity is flowing.
Thought stator was bad.
Volt meter was showing not charging.
Videos on removal and replacement.
From start up or occurring in the middle of a ride the voltage will drop and then start charging again.
Got back home 15 miles voltage down to 8 5.
Same readings battery still not charging.
Must be the regulator.
I thought it should be 14 volts when running charging.
Charged batter read more.
Checked battery connections and were fine.
Motorcycle starter problems testing tips.
If you see 12v then you have a short to ground someplace.
Check the regulator rectifier the starter and ac voltage output.
Got back home 15 miles voltage down to 8 5.
Ac volts goes from about 8 9 volts at low idle to 40 50 volts at 2000 3000 rpm.
Checked ac output from stator.
Changing the battery on my harley street glide.
No change when revving the bike up.
Any advice on what to check or if i even have an issue would be awesome thanks guys.
2006 street glide check engine and battery light came on.
Charged battery and it is holding charge.
Checked all connections battery regulator good checked battery terminals steady at 12v when the bike is off and when running.
Both the engine check light and battery light will come on and voltage indicator will be 12 or less then will start charging 14 5 without me doing anything.
Lift ground off battery and put volt meter on 12vdc with one lead on ground battery post and other lead on on your disconnected ground battery wire.
Volt meter was showing not charging.
How do we know the motorcycle charging system is working.
