How does the Charger on a venture bike work?

The AC voltage produced by the alternator is converted to DC voltage by the Regulator/Rectifier (RR) which is mounted on the frame of the bike near the oil filter. The RR sends a regulated 14 volts DC to the bike’s electrical system and shunts excess voltage to ground. Charging System Specifications:

How can I access the RR connector on my venture?

Access the RR connector by removing the two 10mm RR mounting bolts and lowering the RR. ( Removal of the RF lower fairing makes it easier to access the RR bolts.) Disconnect the connector and inspect the terminal pins for looseness, corrosion, or damage, and repair as needed.
