I'd actually had a cool experience where I bought a scooter and was promised a title, but the dude fell through, and I felt super dumb (it was my first time buying one). I took the bill of sale to the DMV, brough pictures, filled out a title form, and they gave me a little bit of hassle, but when the manager was cllaed over, he looked at the pics and the price, and just said, "Well, it hasn't been registered in about a year. Just give him the title, not like anyone's missing it." Boom. Title in Hand.

So I decided that I'm gonna replace the stator. I decided that after checking the connections and the continuity. I haven't yet gotten the flywheel bolt off (No impact wrench and limited time to rig up a system), so I'll be getting that done soon.

I just checked the gaps on the coil of the stator to the flywheel in order to see if the gap was to large, and it was at 0.010", so the gaps are at the right place. I nee to double check the stator itself, but I've gotta get an impact wrench first. What else can I check? anything?

Standard 4 pin regulator, yep. Yesterday I had tried out my other regulator from my hinda, but I put it back. The new regulator is installed currently, and nothing else was unplugged.

So I did what you said. When it was fully charged, it read 12.63 volts, and after a night of just sitting there, it read 12.53 volts. So I'm assuming the battery is fine.

I rechecked the battery, and now when I rev the engine up, there  is absolutely no change in the voltage. However, the front lights get brighter, and so does the instrument panel. I'd imagine that this means that the stator is working and bringing power to the front, but when it is getting changed from AC to DC voltage, something happens and it doesn't repower the battery.

So, I'm going to change out the regulator when the new one comes in, and then I'm going to check the wiring and see if there is a wire loose. Hopefully this will be finished up by the end of the week!

Any other suggestions or insights, however, are greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone. I've got a problem with my Roketa 150cc not charging the battery the way it ought to. I have to pull my battery out every week or so and charge it up on my tender, because it dies every week or so. The battery is less than 6 months old. Here are some things I have done:

-Checked if voltage increases when I rev up the engine. It goes up, but it doesn't go up by more than like .5 volts or so, and never up to 13.
-Checked the regulator with my multimeter. It would increase power just a touch as well when I reved it up, but it wasn't significant.
-Changed out regulators from my Honda to my Roketa, and test it. Still not a big difference.
-My brake light is always on super bright. It doesn't dim when the brake lever is resting: It's just on bright, all the time.
-When I disconnect my brake light (For the test alone, NOT for riding on the road), the volts given out by the battery while turned on but not running (like when I turn the key) are around 12. When I have the light on, Its about 10 or so.
-I haven't checked the Stator because I don't have an impact wrench to pull off the big bolt.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Could be, but the cheapest one that I could find is over 60$, and I'm more looking forward to working on the bike than I am to anything else, you know? I really enjoy getting my hands dirty: the ride is the icing on the cake for me. I've learned a ton on the forum, so I betcha I can get it up and going without a ton of trouble.
