Ok guys I know a lot of people have been asking or have this problem so I'm gonna do this write up and put up some pics
Here is what has gone on with my bike. It runs code 46 which mean the charging system is getting too much or not enough voltage. All the wires to my rectifier are burnt up along with all the wires from my stator. When I would start my bike it would test at 17.5 volts!!!! Haha not good and after a little bit of riding it would stay at a constant 13.5. One other problem that goes along with all this stuff is if u kill the bike it won't start if u hit the start button it just clicks and you have to roll start the bike. For awhile my simple fix was just replacing the burnt wires but I have now gotten tired of doing that and changing out the whole charging system.
So here is what I will be working with brand new wiring harness, rectifier, and stator. You might wonder why I changed the whole harnes? The reason why is because since the ground and power kept burning up it burnt up other parts of the harness so to hopefully alleviate this problem in the future I got a new harness.
Ok here is how I will hardwired my charging system OUTSIDE of the new wiring harness. Basically I am making a separate harness for the charging system that way if it burns up again it won't ruin my minty harness.
This is what the stator plug and the rectifier look like, I will not be using any of it this is just a reference. I will use 10-12 gauge wire and take the rectifier ground to the ground on the motor. The rectifier power cable is going to go directly to the battery with a FUSE, DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A FUSE. The wires from the stator will also be 10-12 gauge wire going tithe rectifier. For all of these plugs u can either use individual plugs or solder. If you use individual plugs I suggest using electrical grease. I will have the rest of the pictures up today someone please sticky this!!!!
