I'm having this same exact problem. The first time I rebuilt my MC, I used a Buna N o ring that I found in a kit that I had laying around. It's started weeping after I rebuilt my MC again a few months ago. I think my issue is the ID of the o ring is too big, even though the reservoir snaps into...

Yeah, that the spec that's listed. Not sure how accurate that is, it is eBay after all. Clicky Click Like I said, I was just contemplating it. I'm aware of cutoffs, I've retrofitted projector kits into car headlights before, believe me I don't want to be the jerk who puts a HID kit into...

Wow, haven't updated this thread in quite some time. Been enjoying riding it here and there. Need to get some more riding gear, have a jacket, gloves and helmet. But not really a fan of the jacket, looks like a Power Ranger suit. Haha. A few updates on things, ended up tearing down the old...

Just a quick little update. Got a used regulator from eBay installed. Bike is charging like normal again. Also, got my master cylinder rebuilt. Last year I couldn't get it to build up pressure no matter what I tried. Same thing happened even with the OEM rebuild kit. So I investigated. I...

Indeed. I just bought a good used regulator off of eBay earlier today. I'll see if it'll work with the rectifier portion of the electrosport.

So, I ended up sending my old RR to electrosport and they sent me a new one. I wired up the new one exactly the same way and no it's not charging. Ugh. I need to check the fuses still. But instead of the volts going up with the throttle, the volts don't change at all. They stay right around...

So I got the bike charging again. I must have fried my new RR or something. I swapped the good regulator and rectifier from my dad's XS400, which were known to be good.

Yeah. I'll look around. Just cant believe the regulator isn't working already.

Oh. Okay. I thought you were talking NEW OEM style ones.

What do you mean by OEM style? Could you post some links to ones?

Hey all, Hate to start a thread like this, but I am getting frustrated and would like some help. Last fall, I had finally gotten my bike up and running and CHARGING. It wasn't long before the engine seized (had a rod knock). So I put the bike away and started looking around for parts...

Okay, so I touched the DMM probes together and I was getting 0-0.1 ohms. Thus putting the stator wires at 0.9 ohms. A little closer to the specified 0.72+/-0.072 ohms. Checked the field coil and got 4.1 ohms, which is within the specified 4.0+/-15% ohms. Also checked the rectifier portion of...

Good point. I forgot about the resistance of the meter itself. I haven't done the razor blade test yet not have I checked field coil resistance.

Okay, so got the new shiny motor swapped over. It's not charging. Grr. I can't believe the stator wiring is toast with it having such low miles. The charging system was working good after I got a new RR with the old engine, also rewired the stator. I checked the resistance between the three...

No worries, man. I was just saying it was vague and therefore it would be hard to help you out. :) but like arfstrom said, read the thread from Drewpy along with some of others regarding no charging solutions and just start from there. I'll try to find the link to a PDF that has a complete walk...
