Shop manual says should be 14.5 volts at the battery across the rpm range, but I'm getting high 12s at idle and low to mid 13s at higher rpm. I had to make a repair to 2 of the 3 wires from the stator that involved soldering new connections. My question is could the repair be causing the voltage drop if I didn't do something correctly? Or should I be looking elsewhere?
Bike is 76 KZ400 with an aftermarket solid state voltage regulator and the problem stems from switching to a new Lithium ion battery. The repair has worked for years and kept my agm lead-acid battery charged just fine with the ~13v readings, but the lithium seems to be more finicky and Tuesday I was left stranded when the lithium went completely dead.
