You can take it to a battery place and they can test it under a load.
This procedure is covered in detail in the proper manual for your model
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. Buy a manual!
Use an ohmeter to test tesistance where the plug wires connect to the coil-it should read 12,000. now for the the primaray side where the signal wires connect to the coil should be 2-3 ohms.
Unplug your voltage regulator at the front of the crankcase on the primary side. Use a multimeter set to "AC", by inserting the probes into the two holes and rev your bike to about 2500rpm or so. You should get about a 40-60 volt reading. You should also check for a ground, by doing a continuity test, or use the OHM setting on your multimeter to make sure the stator is not grounding out. If everything is good there, and your not charging up, your regulator is bad.
The starting price for the 2013 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic is $17,599. This price is for the vivid black color only. One can go to the manufacturer's website to search for dealers near them or to arrange a test ride with a local dealer.
nope....stator as in the alt? dont do it. this was a test before the computer days... you will surge/ zap the comp. or did you mean starter? either way the answer is no
check coils stator and all connections test procedure check coils stator and all connections test procedure
yes for continuity
A "rider" can be most any age. A "driver" must be 18 in most states and pass a written and driving test. A drivers license for a car does not qualify for motorcycles. You must have the additional endorsement on your license.
Harley, is the answer. I just did the test and the correct answer is Harley.
