[QUOTE="Epic_username, post: 175527, member: 5864"] Well my 6 volt battery held a charge, but there's stomething wrong with the rectifier. With both the 6 volt battery, up at charge, and the 12 volt battery borrowed from my DR350, also charged, I was getting 11 volts DC at idle, and 30 volts DC at half throttle. The headlight coil was putting out 4 volts at idle (didn't check that at throttle) . So I've got an overcharging condition. Since the rectifier isn't much of a regulator on these bikes I think I will look for an aftermarket regulator/rectifier combo, in either 6 or 12 volt, get a reliable alternator output, and go from there. Racerx, you say your reg/rec has an adjustable voltage output? [/QUOTE]
