Been Around the Block
Time to beat the proverbial dead horse:
I am having charging issues with my '74 CB360, there it's out now. As much as we have gone over this on the boards I have gone over it on my bike. And usually with the same end result, something will work for a little while then go back to not working.
Little history of the bike, has GSXR front end(yes I know), GSXR front controls, halogen headlight on all the time, all stator phases active all the time, new reg/rec from sparck, xs650 coils with new condenser, new lithium battery just purchased yesterday after going through 2 AGM batteries in 2 years, always keep on a tender(kind of have to with the weird charging issues).
Issue(s): Battery will not charge on longer trips.
I get good AC from stator, if i remember correctly between 27-35v, when the bike is at idle the battery reads 12.7-12.8v. @ 3000rpm ~13.08-13.1v and climbs a little more but never reaches 14v or so I don't believe. Bike starts fine every time usually on the second crank of the starter. I have tested pretty much everything, even pulled the stator out and put some silicone on the wires that appeared bare just in case they were shorting out, but they never were, just preventive.
This problem has existed with all the batteries I have purchased, I have gotten very good at remembering to just plug in the tender every night. And now that I have purchased a lithium battery I need to fix it for good so the battery doesn't die(kind of expensive).
So I need advise for what to do next, or what to replace next
