@1olbull Nice one!
Bit subtle for most unless they are familiar with the show.

Watched the new movie version at the weekend - all the original characters (except Powers Boothe, who died) - good storyline and as good as ever was.
Try to check it out if you were fan of the show.

A very vulgar and satisfying show, Deadwood.
I noticed that too, everyone that didn't die in the series was back.
Sometimes hard to recognize them!
Almost every character murdered somebody along the way.

If you are confident in your measurement, then yes, the stator is good and can be eliminated from contention.
Therefor that essentially leaves the Regulator.
(you cannot effectively bench-check a MOSFET SHUNT Regulator)



It is really not necessary to buy an OEM R/R - it can be replaced with a genuine Shindengen FH012 or FH020 Form/Fit replacement commonly used on Yamahas and commonly available both new & used on the Internet (just DON'T get one that is cheap Chinese copy of the same - those look similar but you'll know predominantly by the price)

Better is a Series Type Regulator - Shindengen model SH847 - do a search on this forum for details of that device and installation information.

Ok folks I have a non-charging battery problem.

12.6v across the battery 3 days since bike was last started....so it seems to be holding charge.

While cranking volts dropped to 9 - 10 then steady at 12.3 at idle.

Holding 2000rpm it took about a minute for voltage to rise to 12.9

Had to stop as Mrs Hunt decided it was too hot leaning over the exhaust holding the multimeter probes.

Have removed R/R and completed tests as per the manual and it checks out ok.

From grey connector to engine earth on any of the 3 pins i get open circuit (as opposed to a zero ohm read) and assume this is how it should be??

So my first qu is do i have a failing stator, failing R/R that I've misdiagnosed, or something else entirely?

The bike will run for a few days before the battery is too weak to start it. A few hours trickle charge and she's good to go few more days.
