fingaz said:Generally the 6 Volt system on motorbikes is CRAP (and I speak from experience). The regulator/rectifier units I have come across are really unreliable.
I recommend you check regulator/rectifier on the bike, or get it checked because if it's not working correctly, it will damage your battery. You should be able to get information from the manufacturer on the correct charging voltage, or from a good service manual for your model. (17V to power a 6V system does seem a bit excessive)
Nigel Goodwin said:Obviously it can't read 17V if it's connected to the battery, that will clamp it at a bit above 6V or so (depending on the charging current) - I wonder if he's reading from the headlamp winding, without the headlamp as a load?.
