CB750F charging prob solved

James Temple
Hey guys,
Took bike to dealer. Even they scratched their heads until they called Honda in L.A. Turns out the charging system is part alternator/generator. The regulator fields the windings but not directly from the battery. Even if the regulator tests okay, it can still be bad. And the rotor readings I took (1.5 ohms) is fine. Problem solved with new regulator. Now have charging capability. Was well worth the two weeks at the dealer.
