Hey guys,
Took the pan out for a ride today. Feeling more comfortable with it after every ride, until she died. Turns out my new lithium battery was dead. I guess the bikes not charging while running. Did some quick checks online, found a site that says to use a ohm meter on the posts of the generator. Seems I have 4.2ohms to ground on the "A" post, and 10.5 to 11ohms to ground on the "F" post. Post to post I have 5.8 to 6.5ohms.

Ok, so what am I doing wrong? Trying to find data on what I should be reading on this generator.
...and you should consider installing one of their regulators that go over the end of the generator instead of your current unit. makes a really clean appearance
