Hi,
I've ordered a new voltage regulator (OEM Voltage Regulator (AVL) 502039/B $82.95) but have a question. First, the background -
- Bike was running just fine (and still runs just fine)
- When the headlight is on (as it usually is), the ammeter drops to 1/4, down in the red
- Old school test fails - rev motor, headlight intensity does not increase
- VOM test fails - a) battery at 11.5 volts, b) running and rev'ing the engine the VOM does not increase
So, I ordered the new regulator.
What about the rectifier?
Not a combined regulator/rectifier unit for the AVL?
If not, where is it?
How is it tested?
And - should it be bad - where to get a replacement?
Sheeeesh...I Thought I knew about electrics!
tia,
Matt
