Please help here. I'm struggling and I'm not great with electronics.
I'm trying to find the problem with the wife's bike. Yamaha FZ6.
This weekend the battery wasn't strong enough to start the bike, push started and it started. Was running fine in higher revs, but missing and even cutting out at low rpm.
Connected battery to charger, it did a recovery and charged it. When the battery was at 12.4, I've put it back in the bike. Started the bike and the voltage dropped to 11.9 , revved it up to 5K and voltage was 12.5 and not near the expected 14V.
Checked the RR, following a youtube video. It checked out fine.
Checked the stator coil according to the workshop manual:
All leads to ground, no continuity --- great
lead 1 to 2, - 0.8 ohm ( manual says resistance should be 0.22 - 0.34)
lead 1 to 3, - 0.9 ohm ( manual says resistance should be 0.22 - 0.34)
Some info. I read suggests even a 1 ohm reading is still fine.
Started bike and tried to get any voltage between the three wires coming from the coil, NOTHING.
The readings and tests and info. would suggest the coil is fine, but I don't see it producing any voltage.
Is it time to strip and check for visible damage?
Any suggestions of people in East Rand area that will do a good job at rewinding? I only want to deal with people with good references since I again had a bad experience with an auto electrician this past few days.
Thank you.
