Busy with the electrics on my ‘79 XL250S and thought I got it right, but now confused.
Everything is working apart from the indicators blinking, which I ascribe to a faulty flasher unit.
It’s a 6V system with the headlight powered directly from the stator: AC output.
The AC then gets converted to DC through the rectifier and regulated through the, uhm regulator. This is how I understand it currently.
The tail light, horn and indicators are powered by the battery, 6V.
Testing the charging circuit to the battery, I get a reading of approximately 3V only. I then tested the other XL250S and also get a 3V reading, fluctuating somewhat when the revs goes up.
I researched everything I could find and there is similar threads, but no conclusions. They all stop midway without resolve.
Can it be that it is only charging at 3V?
It’s a new battery reading approximately 6.4V.
Help please.
