What should a motorcycle battery voltage be when running?

What should a motorcycle battery voltage be when running?

With the Multimeter set to 20v DC place the meter leads across the Battery as before, if all is healthy you should be getting between 13.5-14.5 volts, an old or tired Battery will be around 13.2 – 14.8 volts if undercharging or overcharging but is of no great concern as of yet, but keep a close eye on things over time …

How many volts should stator put out?

A good stator will read over 28 volts. If the volts read lower than that, you may need to replace the stator. Visually inspect the stator for burnt sections or evidence of overheating and address these issues if present.

How many volts does my Harley need to start?

Harley-Davidson motorcycles use either a 6 volt or a 12 volt battery. Harley-Davidson motorcycles made after the early 1960s are using 12 volt batteries, while older Harleys made before the early 1960s are using a 6 volt battery.

Does running a motorcycle at idle charge the battery?

Technically, a motorcycle battery does charge while the motorcycle is idling though it does not provide as much amperage as when the motorcycle is at higher speeds. During a normal ride, a motorcycle provides about 13, 14, or 15 amps while idling only provides less than 1 amp.

How many volts is Harley battery?

Harley Davidson uses almost the same battery as the other motorcycle. Though they may recommend an individual cell for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, it is using a 12 Volts battery with a 12 Volt system. The complete battery specs for a Harley Davidson battery is 12V, 19 amp per hour and 270 CCA.

When to notice voltage fluctuation on Harley Davidson?

Discussion in ‘ Electrical ‘ started by One For The Road, Apr 21, 2018 . When for a ride today and noticed my voltage gage would fluctuate. I have never noticed this before.

What should the volts be on my bike?

The volts will drop slightly, but not below 10 volts. Turn the ignition and start the bike. The volts should not drop below 9.6 volts when the starter engages. Turn the throttle to rev the engine. As the engine is revved, the volts should go up to 13 or 14 volts.

What should the voltage be on a Harley Davidson stator?

You are correct on the voltage at the regulator pins. It should be -0- Vdc. If you measure your stator output it is in AC voltage. Should read approx. 20 Vac per 1K rpms. Readings on your stator you posted look good.
