Need Help

[FST954]

Hey guys I was out riding today all was well stopped for gas went to start it and nothing, I was able to bump start it, got it home I noticed the terminals were loose I tightened them up charged the battery and it started but when I put a meter to the battery and rev the motor the voltages does not go up it stays at 12.8v

BTW it is a 2004 RB
Any help would be appreciated

I think ya may have isolated your problem... check the VR and go from there.

Check the VR and the stator

The stator is at 30v at idle and 60v when at 3000 rpm, how do I test the voltage regulator

Does your bike have a circuit breaker, I don't know what years and up they added the CB but if you do check and see it is not tripped. Most BDM now run a 40 Amp fuse between the VR and the battery, which was the solution to a CB recall. BDM came out with a kit that included a small distribution post, to where the VR attached too and from the same post a pig tail with a 40 Amp fuse to the Battery. :2thumbs:
