Does a VROD have an alternator?
Registered. Just for a correction in terms, a motorcycle has a stator and not an alternator. But check your voltage at idle as mentioned if it is below 12volts your stator is going bad and when you rev the bike the voltage should increase with throttle up to around 14v or so.

What should the voltage be on a Harley Davidson Charger?
Generally speaking, 14.6 volts is a hard set regulation point on most 12 volt systems such as a Harley. Basically, this does not allow the regulator to send voltage to the battery any higher than 14.6 volts. If the stator fails, your battery will no longer be charging when you’re riding your motorcycle.

How much power does a V-Rod Muscle have?
The power is then sent through that fuse back to the starter solenoid lug that also holds the battery’s positive cable. This is the charging path. The black wire leads to a ground lug shared by your fuel pump and your cooling fan. The system should produce in the neighborhood of 13.4 to 14.2 volts while running.
