Bump. This issue is driving me insane. I just want to ride.

Charging system: Brand new rotor, tested it at 4.5 ohms, good. Brand new reg/rec, good. Stator tests at 1.3 ohms between each of the yellow wires. None of the 5 wires on the stator show continuity to ground. Brushes are new and way above the scribe mark making good contact, good.

Basically, the only that isn't brand new in the freaking charging system is the stator, and it passes all tests. And the bike is literally outputting 0 volts at all RPMS. Battery voltage does not change at all. I unplugged the    stator wire that plugs directly into the reg/rec while the bike was running and put the volt meter on the yellow wires... 0 volts. Theoretically, if you tested the wires coming directly out of the alternator with the bike running wouldn't you be getting like upwards of 15 bolts. I don't get it. I'm extremely frustrated.
