Ok so its getting closer... when I feed the field coil straight from the battery i do get the right voltage on the three yellow cables. :-) I have to do some more testing tomorrow. I have six cables on the reg/rec. Three yellow, one red, one green, one white.

OK so I´m doing some progress... ;D I guess my totally home made wire harness has a little more to wish for :o Today i put one cable from + to the white cable, and one from - to the green so I would be sure the field coil got power. Then I got 40-50 volt from the yellow wires. Right after...

Yes I tested all combos of the three cables. I´m not sure about the rpm but maybe half throttle. I noticed that the battery did not charge properly. Thats what got med to check the stator. I found the specs for my stator on the internet. 0,5-1,5 ohms should be ok.

Yes the volt meter had the correct settings.

Hello! My Honda CB 500 -73 has some problems. I bought the bike non running and it had been sitting for some years. Now when i fired it up i noticed that I have absolute no power out from the stator. I checked the Ohm resistance between the three cables and it says 1.2 ohm. I removed the...

Hello again! Any idea?

Hello! Does a CB750 four kick fit on a CB500 -73? And if it fits, can I use it as a kick starter? :-) /Fredrik

This one have all the cables I need :-)

Yeah I guess the original belt is best. But I´m a tight-fisted person :-) It would be nice to find a strong belt below 100$

Ok so I may have found two possible belts. For 128 dollar. Looks like this could be pretty good. A lot of specs and charts on their site. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/High-Torque-Drive-Timing-belt-HTD-14M-pitch-0-551-14-00mm-Belt-Height-0-394/702327_752160934.html For 65 dollar...

Damn, I noticed today that the belt should be 34mm wide. That really makes things more difficult...

Hmm I may have found som answers myself: Pitch 14mm 129 tooth Width 40mm 14mm x 129 tooth = 1806mm length But please reply if you sit on the answer...

Hello! I had to buy a cheap Kawasaki kz400 ltd today :-) It has a broken belt and I know that the original belt i a damn expensive part. If you find one... But there must be a bunch of belts for other machines that has the same dimension. I need the exact length, width and pitch. The original...

That is one really helpfull page. Thanks! Here´s the status right now. It sure looks like I´m doin something right so far :-) http://youtu.be/LM-FDl3lals

Thanks! That is really great information! I will try this in a day or two if get the time. Or mayby I´ll buy another one. I dont want to mess up the alternator. Now I happened to stumble over this one on aliexpress...
