Nope. Installed the battery and checked volts, 12.79V so far so good. Turned bike on to idle and it dropped to 12.38V held the revs at 3000 and it stayed on 12.38V. So no magic fix today. The reg/rec has its own earth bolt to the frame to make sure its grounded good and proper. The purple wire that shares that ground is the oil temp sender earth. I checked that its getting some AC current to it but don't know how much it should be getting so that doesn't really answer anything.
There is a pic of the earth for the crank case, big thick wire straight from the neg terminal of the battery.
Also last pic is of the earth block for all the front lights and switches. As I said, not really proud that its just tech-screwed in but its a solid earth that doesn't rely on the bearings in the head stem to be making contact.
Sooo.... why isn't it charging?
