Your vid heled me lot. I have gone through 4 rectifier regulators in the past two years. Tonight I'm changing out my stator and the regulator at the same time. I appreciate your video, and the quality of the audio and the explanation is what I needed the most so your camerawork was fine for anyone like me that has been inside these wires a handful of times on the side of the rod stranded.
Great video. It’s helping me diagnose my shadow. However I do get continuity between the plug and the chassis/ negative of battery. Does that mean stator is bad or installed wrong?
I have an 02 shadow 750. In the middle of trying to change starter. My question is does the starter just pull out after all bolts are removed or is there something behind the case cover holding it in? Thank you. I appreciate all help.
Many times it will have a gear with snap ring ! Unless it has a gear with shaft in there I don’t remember this one for sure but on partzilla there would be a diagram of the parts I use it to see what’s what ! Especially sometimes stuff comes missing parts !
You're better off to cut out the three prong electrical connector and just solder the wires instead. That's one of the weak points on any Honda Shadow. It will eventually corrode, and melt. It will also burn out the stator from working overtime. I suggest replacing the regulator with a Mosfet regulator (Google it) and your charging problems will be over. I replaced my stock regulator with a used Mosfet style regulator off of a Yamaha R1 and it charges better at an idle than my old one did when the engine was running fast!!
how in this world you getting 4 volts from the yellow stator cables. ... ! who told you that that..? the stator don't not produce 4 volts. .. Each yellow cable coming out from the stator produce over 60 AC volts. ... !
oh I own a shop n build about 5 atvs bikers ect a week ! nobody told me i learned . mabey you can't read your meter n it says 5 volts instead of 50 . the yellow wires go to Nicola tesla invention what is its name ?
No sir the coil gets charged by the magnets creating an AC current which must be ran through diode aka rectifier to convert into DC power ! Rpms create alternating current because there not consistent . A DC motor has brushes n armature that use DC power n in that sense it's a DC stator because the current dint change ! It uses electric they other creates !
lol i think in the video i mention i don't know how im gonna do it and record ! But the answer is if i help one person then thats why ! thanks for disliking it hope i helped !
@@WaldensWorld hey bro, can you help me! my connector has ben cut off, the three yellow wires i can't find the original position of each one. it could be a problem if i connect on diffrent order?
Good try this is dc system The yellows will be around 4 to 5 volts ac to go to rectify turning to dc charging cdi the trigger release the charge from 12 volts not 50 ac !

Good to hear time to ride
I got seasick watching that video.
Sorry hope you make it to shore soon , why you working in a motorcycle in a boat anyways?

nearly got seasick watching this..even though an important video

Try headset cam with stability control features

Very true my melted n o orderd new replacement
My rectifier has a extra green wire running to negative side of my battery my new rectifier has no place for it ?
Use volt meter n make sure the battery is charging with bike running 13 volts !
How do I take the cover off my stator I got a 2004 Honda shadow It have another chrome cover to the right that I can not get off. It is a 1100.
You can go to bikebandit.com there you look for oem parts it will have a blow up of covers n mounting bolt location !
It’s a pin behind it I spend 3 hrs lookin for it

wrong yellow charges battery on dc system Ac system bulk n red produce over 50 . sit down n hush before you confuse people

4+4+4=12 , yes but not in this case. You need at least 30-70V depending on RPM.
there are dc stators that put out dc voltage

where is my rectifier located on my 1986 honda v twin 700
I personally don't know but if you follow the stator wire mabey three yellow should go to rectifier
Unless video. Camera all flying around. Can't see anything. Why even bother.
lol i think in the video i mention i don't know how im gonna do it and record ! But the answer is if i help one person then thats why ! thanks for disliking it hope i helped !
oh i can give you po box to send me a better camera and a tripod ?

Stator output is ac voltage...usually 20vac to 70vac at increasing rpms, engine running. I see no benefit to doing this check starter motor only.
Good try this is dc system The yellows will be around 4 to 5 volts ac to go to rectify turning to dc charging cdi the trigger release the charge from 12 volts not 50 ac !
If you stator don’t work you can ride till your battery is dead ! This is why u need this check !! Happy to explain if u need it !
