What happens if I charge my bike with little charge?
To little charge will gradually kill your battery. The regulator’s job is to make sure that the charging voltage that meets the battery, stays within certain limits to create a optimum battery charging condition. The specific value of this number differentiates from bike to bike.
How to troubleshoot your own car charging system with confidence?
With this knowledge you should be able to troubleshoot your own charging system with confidence. Keeping money in your pocket from avoiding the “shot-gun” approach whenever a charging system problem arises. Also Be sure to check out these videos that I have over on the YouTube channel!
How to fully troubleshoot your motorcycles charging system?
Check for resistance or continuity through the stator’s windings: (The bike does not need to be running to do this test) • Set your multi-meter to the resistance (ohms Ω) setting. • Disconnect the stator’s wire harness connector.
What kind of charging system does a Honda bike use?
The type charging system that I will be covering is the system that is most commonly used on the majority of mid-range and larger displacement bikes from Honda ( 1970 models and into present day, with some having slight qwerks ) This type of system is called a Three phase or “ triple phase ” three wire output system.
How can I check my Honda CB 750 Battery?
Use one meter to check the DC voltage across the battery terminals. For the other, you would use preferably an amp clamp on the + battery cable. This will show you the actual current that is being sent to the battery. There is a table in the service manual to check the actual charging output of the system using these two readings.
Why are my Honda CB 750 choppers not working?
If you get a reading with no wires and no reading without, then the wires are most likely your problem. INSULATION BREAKDOWN These coils have a solid metal core running through them. It is used solely for mounting. It is not a ground. Sometimes the insulation inside the coils starts to break down and the coil will short to the metal core.
How many spark plugs does a Honda CB750 need?
Use one test lead in each of the spark plug wire connectors. You may have to wiggle them around to get them to a spot where you are getting a reading. Depending on the coil you should get a reading of 5Kohms to 20Kohms. I don’t have a manual with me so I will edit later for the actual cb750 specs. If you get no reading, the coil is bad.
What should primary resistance be on Honda CB 750?
PRIMARY RESISTANCE Set the multimeter to measure ohms. Use one test lead on each of the small terminals that attach to the wiring harness. If using stock coils, you should get a reading of approx 5 ohms. If using DOHC or most aftermarket “hot” coils the reading should be about 3 ohms.
