BTW, HBO includes MotoGP, if your TruTV malfunctions.

Thailand, my favorite track, due to those back to back straight-aways. This year, those really favored Ducati. My guy #BB33 did not have a good weekend, poor KTM and that first turn debacle. Exciting race though!

I didn't read this entire thread, but if you search my past post, I write a bunch about this subject; set-up, SAG, suspension, etc.. I ended up at 15mm.

Piaggio has owned Vespa for many years. In fact, as a boy I owned a 1978 Piaggio Vespa Ciao moped.

I hope this one last! https://www.motobello-oc.com/

…that was the year I ended any admiration for MM93. Dorna did a poor job of handling it.

Hello my friends! I've just returned from my month long trip; Spain, Portugal, Croatia. It sure is good to be back! This morning I put in the new stator, it looks so nice! But it didn't do a damn thing. Basically the battery moves from 13 to 13.4, regardless of engine off, idle, or revving. I think I'll ride it a bit, and see what happens. If the battery stays charged, then I'll continue. If it doesn't, I may drop it off at GuzziTech in Orange. I'm out of ideas, and new parts!

I receive my new stator today. I guess I'll give it another look over prior to replacing it. I have a good friend, a certified Toyota mechanic giving me a hand, and neither of us can find anything. It's over 100° here in SoCal so I'm not sure when I'll get to this. Next Wednesday, I leave for a month long vacation. I hope to have this wrapped up before I leave! Thanks again for all of your help everyone, appreciate you!

12.6 and 12.2, is the voltage of the reference wire.

@80CX100 Very interesting, and you may be onto something, thank you for your suggestion. As you stated, I am using LED in my instrument lights. I thought the R/R only used the headlight though. @gstallons I replaced my 30a fuse withe a CB, working good. However initially it did still heat up and begin to melt. Since then, I once again cut and resoldered the CB. I ordered the stator today. If not needed, it will at least rule it out with certainty.

great video from Rick's. Watching 2:30, he see no increase in voltage, regardless of throttle. This is what I experience as we'll.

@Kevin_T I have not, maybe about the only thing I haven't. I'll remove it and give it a good look. As it seems to be producing increased amperage with increased throttle, I expected it was good. Thank you for the suggestion. I still don't know why the 30 amp fuse (now breaker) heats up and melts. This must have something to do with the stator not charger the battery. @Pressureangle my riding has been 50 mile roundtrip freeway rides to and from work, 80mph+.

I tested, and tested, and tested; no difference. I uncut the zip-tied harness and inspected, all is well. I guess I'll swap the stator or I'll have to drop it off to get repaired. I'm at a lost.

the regulator has the original ground, plus the one I added. As for the ground from the battery, I'll inspect it later to see if indeed it is still there. I suspect it is as it should be. The bike is so clean, not tampered with other than what I've done, lol.

In reference to the 30 amp fuse topic, I swapped mine for a circuit breaker. However that wire is still heating and melting.. I wonder if this all has something to do with that.

…it does.

@gstallons The new rectifier wires are identical to OEM. You mentioned the indicator light on a BMW. I replaced all of mine with LED, wonder if that has something to do with it. However the lights work, and have been working for thousands of miles.

@gstallons I have a fairly new lithium battery (fully charged), OEM stator, OEM harness, OEM fuse block, now with circuit breaker in place of 30a fuse.. I've only added a new rectifier.

@audiomick you must be correct, I disconnect the entire wire cluster from the positive battery terminal.

It varies depending on throttle; 40, 60, 80, etc.

I installed the ElectroSport rectifier, no change! I have amperage coming off the stator, varying depending on rpm, as it should. If I disconnect the battery while running, the bike dies. All test point to the rectifier, however I now own the original, a $40 Chinese one, and the $150 ElectroSport one and they all fail. What next, boys?

I just called ElectroSport, I'm impressed! I merely called to ask if local pickup is available and was referred to their tech, prior to visiting. This guy was super knowledgable, helpful, and helped diagnosed, albeit over the phone. He was surprised, but agreed, it sounds like my Amazon $40 RR is dead on arrival. Made in the USA, one year warranty too; I'm heading there in just a bit.
