Hi everyone. my name is Adam and I just decided to register today although I have been lurking around for quite some time. I have a 1981 cb750f supersport. I bought it as a project and something to tinker with. 400 bucks non running. Spent some time with the carbs and about 8 hours later got her running. lucky break I think. Still having some issues there but thats where the tinkering part comes in.

 Now I am having the dreaded charging nightmare. Stator cover has been broken due to PO letting her drop. pulled the cover and took some readings from the rotor. 3.9 across the board stone cold. cleaned the rings took another reading 4.2 pretty consistently. Started the bike back up hoping that I had fixed the problem and she still isnt charging. Thinking a good r/r and rotor would do the trick but am scared to commit to buying both at the moment. Anyone have any suggestions about the rotor readings or maybe another test I could use to confirm the issue? Thanks for the support. I did many searches in hopes of getting one step closer to the problem. This place is filled with wonderful information.
