    G'day,

    My battery seems to die after several rides, pretty sure it sits on 11.6v at idle so i dare say it's not charging. Is it as simple as a stator replacement or something more sinister? 

     

    Thanks

    Im sure it's not charging, not sure whats the culprit though. Ill check the reg perhaps.

    Ive heard the the entire clutch basket can require changing as well?

    iv'e done heaps of them as kiwidave says , i save the magnets out of EVBT rotors etc clean them & reglue them in possie , don't forget the clean part , magnets all one direction  24hr arialdite , new stator , use loctite quick metal on clean clutch spline leave for 2  days , no clutch hub nut on this model just a c'clip 

    fit new reg

    What is a good test for the reg with a multimeter?


    Im worried i wont have any magnets left.. Will i have to buy an entire new clutch pack?

    to dear to but a clutch i would fix the old one ,check the output of the alt 1st  worry about the reg later , the alt should be putting out 20 v -ac thereabouts per 10000 rpm

    Will the alt be putting out anything if the magnets are gone?
