How do you test a triumph Rectifier?
First measure the resistance of your meter leads connected together (say a reading of 2.4 ohm) then measure your stator (should now read around 2.9 ohms.) Also measure the resistance between a lead and ground. It should be infinite resistance.
Why did my battery die on my triumph?
If the battery does hold it’s charge after a few days maybe the short trips with multiple stops could have killed it. If there’s not a lot of time to charge it between stops, could have run it down. Just a possibility to consider. If the battery does hold it’s charge after a few days maybe the short trips with multiple stops could have killed it.
What should the voltage be on a Triumph motorcycle battery?
Set the multimeter to 0 to 100 on the AC scale, start the bike and hold the revs at 4000rpm and check the voltage between each wire. There are 3 wires so you will take 3 readings, (wire 1 and 2, wire 1 and 3, and wire 2 and 3). You should have between 60 and 70 volts.
What are the problems with the Triumph car?
— Slow cranking. — Stops cranking suddenly on compression stroke with button pressed. — Starts when starter button is released at end of cranking. — Charge/Test/Replace battery. — Loss of capacity. Appears to charge, voltage good but no reserve for starting.
What should I do if my Triumph bike won’t start?
— Maintain battery in peak condition. — Follow proper starting procedures. Neutral, clutch in. — Click from under seat but no cranking. — Won’t crank after rocking bike. — Starter continues to run after bike starts and won’t stop until the battery is disconnected. — Internal contact damage resulting in non-conduction.
Why does my Triumph motorcycle have a bad Charger?
With a bad stator, the battery’s charging capacity gradually drains. Some bad stators will charge a little; you might only notice it when the stator can’t keep up with the electrical system’s pull. Eventually, the stator loses its charge over a longer period of time. The headlights put the biggest drain on it.

What to do if your triumph battery dies?
The bike is kept on a battery tender and has always been charged up. I rode about 40 miles, shut the bike off for about 5 mins. and it started just fine. Another 8 miles or so, off and on again – no problem. 4 miles later, off and on again, started right up. 22 miles later, shut bike off, sat for 30 min. bike wouldn’t start.
