Getting voltage from brake and clutch levers

[pampja]

Hi guys,

I have an on going bobber project and after a re-doing the stator wires I finally got the machine running. I took it for a short ride and it "electrocuted" me through handlebar levers. It was like high frequency tingling feeling instead of a massive shock. Could it be that the charging current from stator is going through the frame? I checked with multimeter's beeber mode that the wires I reworked from stator are not connected to ground. Does rectifier or regulator need to be grounded? Help appreciated!

What voltage are you seeing at the bars? My guess is something is shorting to ground, probably at the control switch (the switch grounds through the bars). Check it with a multimeter set to DC. If it was the AC from the stator you'd have more issues than a slight tingle lol, so I'd look elsewhere.
