Reg/Rec failure on Fireblade RRX

This happened a while ago, I found the picture on my old phone yesterday so I thought I'd make a thread about it.


My project Fireblade (RRX) decided to stop charging its battery, so I did a quick check and low & behold the reg/rec is shot and has taken out the stator wiring plugs along with it.

This actually passed an ohm test on the stator wiring at the stator plug! (the two burnt plugs live under the seat behind the battery).

It was only when I went to check the output of the stator with a voltmeter set to A/C that a problem manifested itself (less than 60v ac @ 5000rpm).


Just goes to show the importance of testing a live circuit rather than a static ohm test.
