check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator.

Are harley Davidson dyna glides a good beginner bike?

No. The Dyna Glide is a fairly large-engined motorcycle, typically 88ci (1450cc) or larger. This is a lot of weight and power for a beginning rider. It is better than some Harley Davidsons in the sense that it is a fairly stripped-down design without fairings or a lot of dress accessories, but typically a beginning rider should start on a much smaller motorcycle. Depending on how big of a person you are, a lightweight cruiser or street-type motorcycle in the 250cc to 600cc range would be ideal. Racing bikes and larger-displacement bikes are more likely to result in fear, frustration and possible injury. Also, most states require you to take a riding test on a motorcycle you provide in order to get a license. This test is typically significantly easier to pass on small motorcycles. As far as Harley Davidsons go, the best motorcycle for a beginner would be the 883cc Sportster, although that can still be a lot of bike, particularly for someone small.


How do you test the rectifier on a 1993 ultra classic?

The proper way to test a rectifier is to disconnect the wire coming from the rectifier to the circuit breaker and test it for 14 volts with a multi-meter. If it puts pout less than 13 it is bad. It is a common problem and one can usually assume that if the battery is losing charge, a new rectifier will remedy the problem.
