HI I have a 1988 yamaha 250 Virago and the battery went dead , I recharged it and it would not start. I checked the battery positive to red wire and I was getting 12.6 volts. I unplugged the rectifier & regulator assembly and that took care of the voltage drain. and the bike started right up with the reg. unplugged. I am getting a ohms reading from the red wire terminal on the reg. to ground. With the engine idling I get 16-17 volts AC from the 3 white wires.
I can't find any place to properly check the regulator.Can anyone help me to isolate this problem??
