Well I recharged my battery again and have been riding it for a good longtime today and everything seems ok. I will check terminal voltage tomorrow. I have my seat bolted down and am too lazy today to ...

Well I hooked up my Sparx and I am still not charging. I am almost sure that the battery is at fault because of what has been said about how important the initial charging procedures for the batteries ...

Well..time will tell. I just recieved mine from wwww.650central.com. I am half way through the installation and will post results when I get it running. I am just very tired of fixing the charging sys ...

From what I understand the timing marks have already been scribed if you buy them from 650central.

I am waiting on mine from them.

Have you tested the stator?
Also run through these tests:

An xs 650 is for life........you simply don't rid rid of one.

Here is where you might find the rest of the dipstick..behind the starter gear plate.

Surprise.....surprise..............I made a mistake!!

I re-tested my stator and rotor and both resistance values went down after the rotor came into contact with the stator. The rotor is now at 4 ...

No the old parts are long gone...........I am pretty sure the stator is at fault with all of that damage even though it still measures within spec......don't think that Mike's would be any help Gonna ...

This reg/rect is from Mikes and it is the one for 1979 and older bikes. My bike is a 1978 is one brush is hot while the other is grounded.

Well........if I trade the reg/rect in order to get the stator and rotor then I would have to buy another voltGE reg/rect LOL

PM ME AND WE WILL DISCUSS HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR BOTH THOSE ITEMS.... ...

Well this is what my reg/rect has running from it:

Red wire.....to battery with a 20 amp fuse
Blue wire....to any 12 volt switched line (this wire senses voltage)
Orange wire to the positive brus ...

my rotor is at 5 ohms and I get infinity from slip ring to rotor body and the stator is .8 ohms and I get infinity from each white wire to ground

Dave

OK.................heres the deal!!!!

When I test for voltage at the positive brush I get about .11 volts...........when I remove the stator from the bike, and the bushes are not touching the ro ...

Yes these ones have a removable mechanical baffle. There is no fiberglass packing. There are three bolts that can go into each baffle to "adjust" the amount of flow. I have tried them with the bolts b ...

Well both the rotor and the stator are physically damaged......don't know if that is responsible for the sytem not charging or not common sense would indicate so..however both read within spec. I am g ...

Mikes is out of stock on rotors........and my stator is damaged so i think that even a rewind is out of the question.

Dave

I am going to drive around with a bunch of big deep cycle batteries in my back pack and ride with no charging system whatsoever!!!!!!! Twisted Evil

:twisted ...

Well............I just can't seem to catch a break!! I redid my wiring ordered a new voltage regulator and rectifier and in haste I did not fully seat the stator before tightening the screws that secu ...

no popping

Here you go! This is my 78 xs 650 with mikes new reverse megaphone mufflers with the mechanical baffle.

I won't win any oscars with this video but hopefully it will be helpful to someone.
