So my bike had a bad electrical problem that blew out my stators and cdi's and I narrowed it down to the wire harness and replaced it. No more burning out parts but the original stator I used worked but barely showing only 3-7vdc charging to battery. Everything from the stator read good voltages ac though, so I changed the voltage regulator from another bike and had the same result. I then unplugged the lights connector from the stator and the bike went fast and idled better so I deemed the stator bad and replaced. Now the bike runs good but still low charging volts. I put the new harness on good. Had the same volt problems before and after harness change. Maybe try a new regulator? I don't know how good the bike I took it from ran. Other than that i'm clueless

Yes many times people buy several R/Rs before they get one that works right and puts out good voltage to charge the battery. What is the Volt reading on the wire from the R/R going to your battery? Have you tested the Stator and see if it is putting putting out 40-100 Vac to the R/R? If it is then its your R/R.

Alleyoop The voltage regulator was only a couple months old when it started reading ,low volts, swapped with one from another scooter and I have the same problem, tested the volts from the other scooter running and its the same. At the time both stators and regulators had been in my bike before so I figured it was the stator. Installed a brand new stator yesterday. It fixed the running problems(Weak spark after failure) Got back my mpg, easy start,ect, but still low charging voltage. I checked the vac for both + wires on the 3prong plug from the stator and got a good reading(used the third wire for ground) I changed the wire harness because I randomly started blowing cdi's back to back and the stator/ and or pick up coil New harness no problems Oh and I got the readings from the +&- wires connecting to the battery. Its not just charging volts its ALL electricity. Head lights are dim, tail light is dim, horn barely sounds and turning signals are weak. Did I mention I was able to get an ac reading also from the wires connecting to the battery? I forgot how much ac but I get both readings |

Yea all good But What Are The Readings?
1. At Idle what does Volt Meter Read?
2. When you Rev it up to around 4K what does the Volt Meter Read?
All of what you say dim and horn barely honks points to a very weak battery.
Now it could be a bad battery and or a not charging R/R it could be both.

Alleyoop 4.3vdc at idle 7.2 max when revved And I mean weak horn and lights at full throttle going max speed. When battery is connected all lights are bright, but headlights are still weak and the battery drains after a decent ride. Battery tests at 13vdc charged and holds a good charge. When the bike is running and the battery is connected it tests at 12.4vdc, with brake lights and turning signals it drops around 11.92vdc, when I cut the bike off the battery climbs back to around 13vdc. The gauges even drop due to low power at idle, but rise and function normal when revved Read more: itistheride.boards.net/thread/5788/5v-idle-max-charging-voltage?page=1&scrollTo=66134#ixzz30J6li0sK |

Then your charging system is not charging. So if the stator is putting out to the R/R then your R/R is bad.
And don't believe that all R/Rs because it is new work, some have bought around 5 R/Rs before they got one that puts out what it should. What I recommend is order from TVNACMAN he actually tests them before he sends one to you, pm him and talk to him.

If its 8 it could be 5 but not 6 .

that ebay regulator is so cheap , between paypal , ebay postage fees I can't see it that cheap . What is the wire position on your regulator ?

Try this.. turn the key on but do not start the scoot. Check your horn..turn signals and brake light and see if they work better. Also check the battery voltage ac and dc with the key on and the engine not running.(Of course battery should not show ANY AC..running or not running..but we had one that did) Then start the engine and do the same..and.. Tell us what ya find..as I just went through this on a customer Scoot a few weeks ago and found the issue..  |
