Hi folks.
I recently purchased a 1995 1100 with 148,000 miles. It had a water leak, when I tore it apart one of the water fittings on the heads was corroded through. I replaced both fittings and all hoses. No more leaks. The thing rides great and I love it, BUT now I have a charging problem. The regulator is charging over 15 volts and gets so hot after 2-3 minutes I can't touch it. On a ride it quits working after about 10 minutes. I checked the alternator wiring and it checks good according to the book. The regulator has VERY low resistance between the red/'white and the white wire, supposed to be 60 ohms.
I purchased a new RR and installed it. Now I get NO charging and this regulator has no contiuity between the red/white and white wire terminals.
The RR I got was one of those from china, at $25, delivered.
My question is, is there anyone that changed to the 40 amp system that has a known good RR that they would be willing to sell me?
