Okay we bench tested the stator so we think thats out of the question!
Problem:
If bike sits wont start even if trickle charged to peak with batt tender. New batt so thats not the problem. Somewhere theres a short that drains the batt if not kept on charger. Batt will die in days
First thought is volt regulator can anyone confirm. Over the summer the thing got really really hot while riding and the volts were about 13.3 running idle and dropped to 12.5 at the lowest at 5k. but crept back up a lil to 12.78. Now being winter it will crank and crank no fire till batt is dead unless i jump it with my 50amp charger. New newa is it wont even stay running with a load on the motor just stalls and gotta jump it again. Im not a big fan on fryin a battery so any input would be good. I found 2 aftermarket volt regulators on ebay wondering how they compare to the stock yamaha one. Also the vmax guru around my parts recommends grounding the volt reg straight to the battery for a few extra volts to the system.
Bike:
1990 Vmax lowered 2", redid trans built by someone who races these things. Very tight i might add. New batt custom paint 180 rear tire. I need to get her running!!!!!
