Generator light on or off?

[jchayes]

G'day gents. One quick question: ignition switch "on," bike ready to start, should the generator light be "on" or "off?"

 

(Early '02 LeMans, stock wiring - new factory wiring harnesses, light does work, oil pressure and neutral lights are "on")

 

Thanks

Truth be known.. you never know.  Naturally, it *should* be on, but conjunctions of the moon's orbit with Venus sometimes cause it not to be. I think. Pay no attention..

Key on: battery light on, oil pressure light on.

 

All the warning lights should come on except the low fuel light.

 

Most likely causes: bad bulb or loose bulb socket, but it seems there is a regulator issue that defeats the light.

 

Put a voltmeter to the battery and confirm charging voltage exceeds the static battery voltage.

So, hey, post back why it's not on?
