XXBirdSlapper Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Does the bird benefit from a high output stator without many added accessories? Quote
OMG Posted July 15, 2022 Author Posted July 15, 2022 Probably not But I have a few, Montana is cold. Quote

superhawk996 Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 It probably had a faulty regulator and was over charging. Quote

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. Quote

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

CALCXX Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 (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. Edited July 18, 2022 by CALCXX 1 Quote
