Hello
Just finished rebuiling my 1980 XS400. I have problem, alternator is not charging battery.
It's my first bike and I bought it last september. Started rebuiling it straight away, because I didn't have my license yet. The bike ran just fine when I drove few kilometers before the rebuild. But I thing it was too little to make sure alternator was working.
Maybe someone can tell me what tests I can do to make sure if alternator is ok or not.
Also the original separate rectifier and regulator is replaced for rectifier/regulator together in one thing.
Tested it like showed in this video:
One number that was showed and supposed to be 0.300-0.500 was 0.535 on mine. Can this be the problem?
Im didn't have any experience with bikes before this and I'm pretty glad I got everything else working by myself Now would be perfect to get it charging.
