Re: Yamaha virago 535 not charging on new battery and...
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Charging problems could either be a stator issue or a failed rectifier/regulator combo. To check:
- measure the battery voltage with the engine off;
- start the bike and measure it again, it should be slightly higher;
- rev the bike, the voltage should rise as the RPM increases;
- measure the voltage by pairs on the 3 white wires from the stator;
- there should be AC voltage that increases as the RPM ncreases.
This of course presumes that the wiring, connectors, terminals have been checked, cleaned and tightened.
Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
