How do you install a voltage regulator on a Harley Davidson?
Installation
- Position the regulator at the frame down tubes.
- Route the wire lead along the inside of the bottom frame member; connect it to the main circuit breaker.
- Secure the wire to the frame with six cable straps (or zip ties) and two metal frame tabs.
- Install the seat, battery and battery tray.
Do voltage regulators have oil in them?
Registered. As Inky says, there is no fluid in a voltage regulator. If your Street has no leak from the oil filter, and no leak from the ABS module if fitted, and is charging ok, then you would have to assume at some time there has been a spillage.
How do you test a Sportster voltage regulator?
To check the regulator unplug it from the stator. Take a test light and clip it to the negative terminal of the battery and then touch first one pin and then the other on the plug that goes to the regulator. If you get even the slightest amount of light from the test light the regulator is toast.
What does a Harley Davidson voltage regulator look like?
Harley Davidson Voltage Regulator Wiring Diagram – wiring diagram is a simplified adequate pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the capability and signal links along with the devices.
What kind of electrical system does a Sportster use?
The Sportster Charging System consists of the Alternator (Stator & Rotor), Regulator & Battery. The Alternator is of the Permanent Magnet type, the Regulator is a combination rectifier, shunt voltage regulator & the battery is typically of the Absorbent Glass Mat type.
What should battery voltage be on Harley Davidson Sportster?
Attach the red probe of your multimeter to battery positive and the black probe to negative. Set your multimeter to the DC volts position. The voltage reading should be 12.2 volts or higher. This test only checks the battery’s charge level; it does not check the battery’s ability to supply current during engine cranking.
Where are the ground wires on a Harley Davidson Sportster?
There is one main ground wire routed from the battery’s negative (black) terminal to a stud on the primary case. This is the largest of the ground wires on the Sportster. Start with the larger ground wires first, as they will have the greatest impact on your electrical system if a failure occurred.

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.
How to check the charging system on a Harley Davidson Sportster?
To check your charging system: Start the engine and record the battery voltage on your multimeter. The voltage should be near 14 volts. Raise the engine RPM’s to 2,000 and turn on all your Sportster’s electrical accessories, such as lights, radio, etc.
