Motorcycle Repair: voltage regulator, rev tech 100, dc volts

Question
2004 rev tech 100, changed ignition to stampede because the factory had 12" bare wire in harness. Now (maybepreviously, don't really know)have 12.75 volts at idle voltage goes down as rpm goes up. Crank pulley came loose once. they say voltage regulator should be bad, but chek stator for grounding with ohm meter? Don't know how. Thanks

Answer
To test the stator you need a OHM meter and a DC volt meter. Unplug the voltage regulator and at the two prongs of the stator test for OHMs. If there is a ground it is bad. Now start the bike and at the prongs of the stator you should get around 60 DC volts st 2000 RPM. If not then its bad. If it passes the tests then the regulator is bad.
Good luck and happy riding
