It can't be more than about 15 amps. I have had my bike for 8 years and it has always dropped down to about 10.5 - 11 volts on the voltmeter at idle which isn't right. The voltage at the battery is more like 12.2 volts at idle. When you rev it up, the voltage eventually gets up to about 14 volts. I have replaced both the battery and the regulator. I think the stock alternator is too small for the load.
The Harley police bike is different from a regular Harley because the Harley police bike has a higher output charging system, lower gearing, and a twin engine instead a single engine.
There is no generator on a 1994 FXR. The charging system is an alternator located on the engine output shaft inside the primary cover.
What makes the Harley-Davidson V twin motor sound the way it does is the basic layout of the motor. It's a 45 degree V and both connecting rods ride on the same crankpin which causes a unique stacato exhaust rhythm. The arrangement also enhances torque output.
If you are concerned about power, buy a sportbike, harleys are not fast, they are for cruizing. don't worry about your power, just keep it running correctly
To measure amperage output to see if an alternator is charging or not .
Since its charge output is a standard USB port, you just use the charging cable that came with your device.
The charging system output voltage is too high or low.
Depends on what you are charging and the output of the charger. That is why an automatic charger is always best. No chance of overcharging the battery.
Voltage Output Range for Automotive Charging SystemsThat is correct voltage. Additional InfoA charging system output voltage which falls anywhere within the range of 13.5 Volts to 16 Volts is considered acceptable.
Charging System Output Voltage RangeTo my knowledge, unless there are vehicles that are exceptions, the acceptable output voltage specifications for all auto alternators is within the range of 13 volts to a maximum of 14.6 volts.
Weight: 30g Sound output power: 2w Built-in rechargeable 120mah battery Charging time: 1.5 hours Play time: up to 4 hours
I just replaced a Harley battery with a YUASA, YTX20L-BS. It has the same construction, AGM, as the original, Harley battery. The charging information was on the top of the battery. It specified 13.00 volts as a full charge. A normal charge rate is 1.8A for 5 to 10 hrs. A quick charge is 9.0A for 1 hr. It is important not to let the battery get hot to the touch. Here are some useful websites: http://www.yuasabatteries.com/motor_battery.asp http://www.rversonline.org/ArtAGM.html Note the 14.0v maximum. Some auto chargers put an alternating current (AC) component on the output. You may wish to consider a charger designed for your battery to optimize its life. If you have accessories or an alarm make sure you don't need to disconnect them before charging the battery to prevent damage.
