Hi guys.
I'm diagnosing a no charge situation on my CB550f. I've tested the field coil and it is a perfect 4.9 ohms resistance. This is exactly in spec with the repair manual. I've tested the stator and it reads 1.0 ohms resistance when measuring between any two of the three output wires. I've checked 3 separate sources and the factory spec for this test is 0.35 ohms resistance. That's fine with me but now I've tested four separate stators and they all measure 1.0 ohms. So the question is, could all of these stators fail to the exact same number? Seems like too much to be coincidence. I don't know the science behind this so maybe someone can tell me why all these stators are reading 1.0 ohms instead of the 0.35 ohm spec that they should.
