Thanks,I wish I had measured it before I went and cleaned everything up. But battery holds a proper charge and the voltage changes to 14.7ish with the bike running now so it looks like I am good.
That was first time ive ever tried that on a bike, now after watching the voltage reading at different rpms I can see why the bike died when I disconnected the bike at an idle. It really did not put out much of a charge until the RPMs got over 2500 or so.
I Was taught by my mechanic Uncle way back before the cars had computers that easiest way to see if it was the battery or alternator was to disconnect the battery, if the car kept running the alternator was putting out.
