My battery will not charge on my bike, i ride a 1973 Suzuki T500, i've rebuilt most of the bike myself, but i'm still having chargin problems, i think it might be somethin wrong with the rotor thing on the bottom of the engine (not sure what it called), does anyone know what side it is on???
any help would be great guys!!
thnx

Did you check Fuses?
Are the cable to the battery clean and tight?
Are all the wire connection from the battery to the charger to the fusebox to the regulator to the rotor tight? You may just have a loose connection.
Do you have a voltmeter? Check the voltage at the battery with the engine running and then at higher RPM.
Thats a good starting point.
If you are not charging, the usual suspect, after fuses and connections is the voltage regulator.
