How do i test the voltage regulator on my 1979 harley sportster
With the battery fully charged and the motorcycle running at idle, you should get 14V at the headlight terminals with headlight disconnected and headlight switch on (if yours has a headlight switch). When you rev the engine, voltage should not vary at all. If you do not get 13.5-14V at the headlight terminals, or if voltage varies more than 1V or exceeds 14.2V, replace the voltage regulator. (They typically only last a few years.)
