Have I given you the impression that I've been stranded on the side of the road 2 hours away from home in the middle of east yokel-ville Vermont because my battery wasn't recharging on its own?
What a bitch that was. Battery didn't have enough juice to fire the coils of the bike unless it was running at about 2500 rpm which means pop-starting didn't even work. A guy with jumper cables got me running but it would shut off as soon as I disconnected. While he was still hooked up I adjusted my idle up to 3K which solved the stalling problem. I was able to limp home without needing another jump!
I'm guessing our work schedules don't line up so any weekend works for me except for this one unless you feel like riding up to Candia NH again.
You will need a shop manual unless you can find out what the nominal stator winding resistance should be and what its unloaded AC output voltage is.
