Voltage Output Question
Good day, Riders.
So here is the situation:
The bike is an '06 that should have had the voltage regulator replaced but didn't.....
Had a low voltage warning on the bike while riding at very low rpm's...
The battery is new and top of the line" - 12.75 volts across the terminals with no load.....
With the bike on the jack stand at idle (900 rpm) - 14.5 v across the battery terminals
At 3000 rpm - 14.5 v across terminals
Stator check - 1-2 ohms across terminal connector / NO ground continuity
Take the bike out for a "test ride" - engine "heats up" voltage drops to 12v at idle
What is the MOST LIKELY unit that's failing - voltage regulator or stator?
Really appreciate the help and advice
Ride In Peace

Sounds like you already suspect the regulator, I would too.
A quick check before doing so would be, to get it to the hot condition where the problem happens. Then pull the regulator plug at the crankcase and check for volts AC.
