Absolutely not! Wonderful advice given! :yahoo: And Thank You! Hope my frustration level hasn't alienated you, my friend.
I think I have a most unusual problem, like normal for me.....
I'm on iPad now, kinda tedious to type, and house pc has decided to freak, lol.
I now have literally 0 ohms resistance across both legs of RR output. Ok, 0.1 ohms.
Yet still have > .2 vdc drop measured from batt + and RR hot output, same for return leg.
Changed batteries, car batt was better, yet less than a healthy 14.5 to 14.7 (max 14.3 )
Used Harley batt, it was ~ .2 vdc better than new Yuasa batt.
Wish I could post up video but house isp has died, verizion 3G on iPad now.
I am thinking the rotor magnets have repolarized, reducing output. I noticed that the new engine had less sucky force than old engine when installing stator, case on new engine . Not scientific, for sure, yet possible. The bike was crashed on that side, yes, drawing straws.
Since I have a rotor I trust, will swap tomorrow. It looks like a steering wheel puller will work quite well. I know the rotor is a long shot, but I have known good batt, RR, and wiring loom shows acceptable readings across 3 different meters, 2 Fluke dmms, and one old yet good Triplett!
I am keeping good attitude about this. have learned so much about perm mag charging systems and should krzy8 go bad roadside, I am familiar. I like knowledge, although acquisition can be a *****.
I APPRECIATE your input, Alan, and will post up direct responses to your list soonest.
Wow, this iPad needs a keyboard...
My thinking is the rotor magnets polarity have slightly changed due to crash causing AC mis-phase and subsequent lower output. I don't have a scope to view waveforms, yet I did measure a 10:1d difference between 1 phase to the other 2 phases. Assuming Yamaha reduces each phase proportionately, not a phase individually, this kind of makes sense to my addled mind.
I know the rotor is a long shot.. But I've had 2 rotors in my biking career be bad! This would be 3, if factual.
Once again, Thank You!
