I believe my meter is now more accurate. I’m getting 13.73 v at the battery when revved to 4K.
At the rectifier, it’s 14.17

I followed the leakage test from the Haynes. Pull negative battery lead, tough positive lead from meter to it, and then put the negative meter lead to the post.
Would that give me different results than what you are describing?
Just an update. I replaced the leads and fuse in my dmm and used some cleaner on the battery leads.
Tested the ohms from the stator. The new leads had a resistance of .2-.3, and all combos came in at .6 or .5. So the stator looks good, with the voltages when running from earlier.
Then pulled...
Thanks for the info. And yes, I did test them against the chassis ground as well.
this is now the 4th battery. I replaced the stock battery with a relatively cheap one from amazon. The third battery was more expensive but only lasted one season. I charged this new one up and it is running fine...
Thanks, Townsends. I had seen that.
Mine new battery drops to about 11.5 on crank.
The first battery lasted so long, but since, have gone through two spares and now this one. Just seems to be burning them out.

Been awhile since I've been on. Hope you're all well.
I've poured through some of the stickies on the topic, but I wanted to solicit some thoughts on my current charging situation.
FYI, I have a PCV and autotune on there, as well as BD-43s headlight mod.
Mine is an '09, had since new...
With all these new Chicago members popping up, we really have to work on getting some casual meet ups going. Just went to Starved Rock on the 6 with the wife and there are some nice roads there.
I'm in Lisle, by the way.

Prince,
I'm 6'2" 230 and have the long TS and have almost too much room. I can move around on the seat, forward and back, and am not held in by the backrest. In some ways, this is nice because I can adjust position on longer rides, but I also wish I was a little more "tucked in" to the seat...
I've got an 09, scorpions, K&N, PCV and the Autotune.
Haven't had a dyno, but loaded a near map and have tried playing with the tuning. Not happy yet, but would be happy to share so PM.
I also installed a switch from radio shack to turn off the Autotune, but can load dual maps as well...
I've never been too happy with mine either, but I do have scorpions with PCV and auto tune, K&n filter. Even when it was stock I got right around 40.
