What does the regulator on a Harley stator do?
The regulator protects the battery voltage and when the battery voltage climbs too high it shuts off current to ground and bleeds it off as heat. That is what the heat fins on the regulator box are for, to dissipate the heat.
Where are the stator wires on a Harley Davidson?
If you have a short to ground then you have no output from the stator. Find where your 3 stator wires are. On a Harley, this is up front near where the inner primary connects to the motor case. Right by the seam. The three wires will track straight from there to your regulator/rectifier.
How does the rectifier work on a Harley Davidson?
The rectifier is responsible for converting the alternate current (AC) current created by the stator to direct current (DC). Basically, it chops off the negative polarity portion of the current that the battery can’t use. Then it passes the current to the battery.
Can a motorcycle run without a stator battery?
All the current required to run your motorcycle comes from your battery. The stator system charges your battery and replenishes it. You could actually run your motorcycle just fine for some time without a working stator as the battery has reserve current. Of course, the battery would eventually die.
What should I know about a Harley Davidson stator replacement?
The Harley Davidson stator replacement and upgrade is being done with quality parts made in the USA. The unique design of Cycle Electric Inc. stators offer: Insulation able to withstand temperatures of 600° F to eliminate stator burn out. Better low speed output to reduce battery discharge at an idle.
When to replace rectifier and stator in 2007 Ultra Classic?
Thank you for any advice. 2007 Ultra Classic Generally speaking, when one component within the charging system goes bad (stator or regulator/rectifier), the other unit isn’t far behind. It’s for this reason we recommend that you replace both components within the charging system whenever there’s a problem.
Can a drag specialties stator work on a 2003 Harley flhtci?
Matter of fact, fixing to order some more. Yes, this Drag Specialties stator will indeed fit the 2003 Harley FLHTCI as it is of a 3-phase design. I have a 92 wide glide fat boy. will this stator work on my bike?? If, by Wide Glide Fat Boy you mean Softail Fat Boy, then yes – the stator you’re asking about will indeed fit your bike.
Is the 1992 Harley Davidson flstc Heritage Softail stator correct?
If you were to choose the 1992 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic stator from our fit guide, you’d receive the correct parts to fit your machine. In fact, we guarantee it!
How can I tell if my stator connector is defective?
Ohms Test. You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
What should I do if I get a reading on my stator?
Set your multimeter to Ohms. Put the negative lead on the engine’s ground and the positive lead on each wires of the stator’s connector one by one. You shouldn’t get a reading at all. If you get a reading, even very small, on any wire, the stator is defective and must be changed. Put your multimeter to AC Volts and start you vehicle.
How to test the regulator rectifier for failure?
How to Test the Regulator Rectifier for Failure In most motorcycles, the regulator and rectifier are located together in the same unit, but other older models have them installed separately. Here’s what you need to do to test your rectifier for failure: Start by disconnecting the wires in your bike and switching the multimeter to diode function.

What can cause a motorcycle rectifier to fail?
Common Causes of Failure. There is a wide range of possible reasons your motorcycle’s regulator rectifier could fail. A faulty regulator rectifier could not only affect things like motorcycle values but will impact the bike’s performance on the road. One of the primary causes of failure is heat.
