Check the bulb first.
Good idea. But the most common cause is an open rotor. Use an ohm meter to measure from one slip ring to the other. This test should be a few ohms. Check from each slip ring to the steel body of the rotor. This should be Zero ohms.
Hi folks, yesterday my alternator light stopped coming on with switch on or motor running. Load test good. No increase in voltage with motor reved to 2,000 RPM. I say alternator. Any ideas please. Cheers
Going from memory, once you have the front cover off, remove both leads to the rotor and short them together. With the key on, if the bulb lights, it's the rotor. If it doesn't light, its the bulb.
Zero ohms or infinity?
Thank you everyone for taking the time. I talked to the guru Shail, my mechanic. He believes after my exploration that the problem lies with the rotor. I have a battery booster to travel from Vancouver Island to Shail's Motorcycles 200 miles away.If I can start I can get there. Cheers
