XXBirdSlapper Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Does the bird benefit from a high output stator without many added accessories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a small benefit if it charges better than stock at idle, but the rest of the time it's a detriment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It probably had a faulty regulator and was over charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM has a higher charge voltage rating, plus being sealed it can cope with a bit more over-voltage. Once it gets hot enough to vent then it starts going downhill and re-filling one is tricky.

Back in the day I rode my 78 CB 750 to my brothers, 500 miles just stopping for gas. When I got there the battery was dry. When I went to come home, I filled it, jumped it with a lamp cord and rode home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALCXX Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Honda upped the wattage in 99. Gave the R/R another wire in parallel to shunt the excess current to ground. I don't have extras so, I won't buy a bigger stator. FWIW, my 98 measured 17+ amps to ground at 5500 rpm. Only one wire.
