86 mod Vmax. New regulator, new battery (680), it shows 15 volts when I measure directly on the regulator (when running) with the battery unhooked from the regulator but when I hook on the battery it shows 12, and not charging at all. That’s a new one for me, what in the world could be wrong...

So after two years of riding I got hit by a car. Speed was about 20-25 km/h (15 mph). The car hit my back wheel on the right side, and the bike landed on the left side on the ground. Bent handle bar, gear shifter, and scratched exhaust among a few other things. I also noticed a weird sound...

Hi I have rebuilt a Vmax from 1986 and everything works great now, except the start switch won't work. All of the electrical are connected where it belongs except for the white oil level wire, I can't figure out where it's supposed to go. And I can't find my Haynes book either, so any...
