A couple weeks back my charging system failed leaving me stranded. 3 jump starts later I was able to get back on the battery powering the bike. I charged the battery and started the bike and observed no increase in voltage over the battery, so I replaced the reg/rec with one from my K1. Checked again and it was showing 13.5v at idle. All seemed fine.
Until the same thing happened yesterday. With the bike off I'm seeing 12.6 at the battery (after charging it - it was at 12.9 in the morning), and idle it is showing around 13.3-5. Bringing the revs up though shows a drop in voltage to around 12.4v. I did put the original reg/rec back on but at idle it just showed the same as with the ignition turned on (around 12.4).
Any ideas from anyone as to what might be going on or what I should check? It's difficult to operate a multimeter with one hand but I checked for continuity at the stator plug and there was none (as there shouldn't be) and there does show to be resistance across the pairs of wires coming from the stator. The only thing I can't check is output when the bike is running.
