Voltage Drop: Rectifier / Regulator To Battery(+); Rectifier / Regulator Connector Inspection - Victory Cross Roads Classic Service Manual

Voltage Drop: Rectifier / Regulator To
Battery(+)
NOTE: Leave regulator / rectifier connected for this test.
From stator (connected)
Red lead to ring
terminal at circuit
breaker
1. Remove the electrical cover (below the oil cooler).
2. Set Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) to DC Volts scale (or 300
mV scale).
3. Connect red lead (+) of DMM to the ring terminal of the
Red regulator / rectifier lead at the circuit breaker.
4. Connect black lead (-) of DMM to positive (+) battery
cable at battery.
5. DMM must read below 0.1 volts DC (100 mV). If it does
read 0.1 V DC or less the circuit is O.K.
Specification: 0.1 V DC
6. If DMM reads above 0.1 volts DC there is excessive
resistance in the circuit that must be corrected.
7. Possible problem areas could be the battery cable,
cable end connections, cable to battery terminal
connection, the ring terminal connection to the
regulator rectifier red wire. Visual inspections or
continued voltage drop inspections are necessary to
determine the cause.

Rectifier / Regulator Connector Inspection

1. Disconnect 3 pin connector.
RED (to battery side of
Black (BK)
2. Inspect male and female pins in the 3-pin connector
and the ring terminals of the positive (red) and negative
(black) regulator / rectifier leads. Check for corrosion,
loose pins, poor connections, or evidence of
overheating or other damage.
3. If the wiring and connectors are undamaged and
appear to be clean and tight, inspect the battery, stator,
and related wiring. Test the regulator / rectifier as
described in the following tests.
NOTE: Do not touch the meter leads when testing the
regulator rectifier. Readings in the following chart are
correct for a Fluke™ 73 multimeter. Use of other
meters may affect test results.
