What causes a motorcycle battery to overcharge?

What causes a motorcycle battery to overcharge?

Battery will overcharge if your voltage regulator is not working properly. If you are using a battery that is NOT sized properly for your bike (aka too small of a battery). If the battery has been discharged far too low and has damage to one or more of its cells.

Will a bad stator cause overcharging?

About the original question- the stator AC voltage output is an rpm limited commodity. The more it spins, the more the juice flows. (Typically, a bad stator won’t put out excess electricity.

What should I do if my Honda stator is weak?

Note that as written this system will bypass the CDI portion of your ignition system (if present) and replace it with a more traditional one. I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running.

Can a stator be replaced on a twin cam Harley Davidson?

In this video, Mike walks us through the process of a full charging system test, along with the removal of a complete charging system on a Twin Cam touring model. He demonstrates the stator replacement with a 50 amp upgrade. This upgrade will keep your battery up to snuff as the demands on the battery and charging system keep growing.

What should the forward bias be on a Honda rectifier?

The forward bias measurement for the positive terminal diodes and the negative terminal diodes in the Honda regulator/rectifier should be about 0.48 volts to 0.52 volts. Watch the clip below to see the Honda regulator/rectifier test in action.

How to test a Honda regulator / rectifier?

Honda Regulator/Rectifier Test The forward bias measurement for the positive terminal diodes and the negative terminal diodes in the Honda regulator/rectifier should be about 0.48 volts to 0.52 volts. Watch the clip below to see the Honda regulator/rectifier test in action.
