Alternator/stator test

Hi, i have an xj650 turbo which i have triked, the engine is now running as per an xj650 (no turbo) its a real slick job and will post pics asap 8)
My question is regarding what readings i should be getting from the 3 white wires routed from the charging stator?? i am getting nowt in the way of charge and all the white wires seem to be shorting out!!
The motor is a xj650 16G year i no not!! and the rest of the bike/trike is now all one off so im only using the engine/carbs/wiring etc
Cheers all. Gregster70

 

If you've got a "G" model engine, that's from 1980 - although the 650 Turbo was a 1983 beastie (here in North America anyway).

I don't have my specs here with me, but as I just did these tests myself I'm pretty sure the stator resistance tests should be .41 - .51 ohms. No specific testing procedure, you just check between the 3 leads - all should read in the same range.

 

yeah as ive said im getting a full short across any 2 of the wires!!! guess ill just source a replacemeant :?

 

Got 'em here, in stock!:

ALTERNATOR (GENERATOR) PARTS:


Alternator Stator:

gp2) OEM new and aftermarket re-wound Alternator STATORS perfectly replace the originals. Rewound stator coils are sold on a "core charge" basis and you must return to us a usable, same-model stator core in order to receive your core charge refund. Re-wound stators will output at least the same current as an original stator, and comes with the wiring harness lead and connector but without the rubber insulator grommet that fits into the generator cover----so save your original grommet!

NOTE: for best performance, your Alternator Stator and Rotor should be replaced at the same time.


HCP1679 Aftermarket rebuilt/re-wound 19-Amp ALTERNATOR STATOR, with lead wire harness and connector, fits all XJ650, XJ700 non-X, XJ750, and XJ900RK models. A $ 35.00 core charge applies to this item, and a re-usable, same-model stator must be returned for the core charge to be refunded. NOTE: "re-usable" means it is complete and that none of the core ring plates are smashed or "separated" or splayed apart from each other.
$ 139.00 + $ 35.00 core charge

 

I have now replaced windings, cover (with new brushes) and the reg/rec but still NOTHING :?
Also i posted this question on here for advise from fellow owners and NOT to be sales pitched from shops!!!!!!

 

Oh don't be offended - Chacal is our resident parts expert/provider - he's just trying to help out the best he can

How about we start with exactly what readings your getting from the resistance tests on the stator & rotor?

 

Thanks all for your help etc but i have now sorted the problem ;-)
It turns out i had a short in the windings and found a guy who is local and breaking an 84 maxim so i got the reg/rec, cover and brushes and stator windings for a decent price and now she`s purring like a kitten....
I will post some pics of the trike soon as i think it will raise a few eyebrows ;o)
Cheers all...
