What is the voltage regulator on a Harley Davidson?
The Harley-Davidson voltage regulator is an electrical component that controls the amount of voltage going into the instrument gauges, speedometer, and gauge cluster. It’s required by the motorcycle electronic system to display the engine speed and other important vitals.
Is there an aftermarket regulator rectifier for Harley Davidson?
Introducing the Rick’s Motorsport Electrics regulator rectifier for Harley Davidson® motorcycles. This aftermarket Harley Davidson® Regulator Rectifier has been built with ceramic hybrid technology. It’s a perfect solution for replacing your bike’s OEM regulator rectifier.
What’s the hard set regulation point on a Harley?
Generally speaking, 14.6 volts is a hard set regulation point on most 12 volt systems such as a Harley. Basically, this does not allow the regulator to send voltage to the battery any higher than 14.6 volts.
What to do if your Harley loses voltage?
Testing the Voltage Regulator If you noticed your Harley losing voltage or suffering from voltage regulator symptoms, it’s possible to test the regulator for bleed. Voltage is only allowed to travel in one direction, from the stator to the battery, when the regulator is working properly.
What happens when a voltage regulator fails on a Harley Davidson?
My 94 had a premature regulator failure that was something like yours. Good voltage, bad voltage, good, then toast. The bike was 2 years out of warranty. The fix cost was small. I tested the stator and battery. No issues there. Hopefully they give the charging system a good once over.

What should the charging voltage be on a Harley stator?
You can use 13 as a good all around battery voltage. That is a good healthy battery staying charged just above 12 volts. Example only: Let’s say the stator is rated for 10 amps x 13-volt battery: 10 x 13=130 watt charging system. So you have a 130-watt charging system in this example.
