Hello all. Chuck here. I was wondering if anyone here had ever measured the amperage of the 3 wires coming from the stator. My bike is a 1989. I just replaced the r/r. I clamped an amprobe around each wire I got a reading of 17 amps at idle. Thanks----:bang head:
 
Service manual says 25 amps @ 5000 rpm

The graph on p. 8-15 of the service manual shows 25 amps at 3000 rpm on a plateau as revs increase, but the spec is listed as hard copy on the same page. Resistance between any 2 white stator wires = .42 ohms + or - 15% @ 68 degrees F. temperature

I'd say 17 amps at idle sounds pretty-good, try it at 3K rpm then 5K rpm & compare to above.
