  • Charging: start with a known-good or tested battery
  • Charging: measure idle and raised-rpm charging voltage
  • Charging: switch on loads and watch regulation stability
  • Charging: inspect stator/regulator connectors for heat damage
  • Charging: measure positive-side voltage drop
  • Charging: measure ground-side voltage drop
  • Charging: test stator resistance phase to phase
  • Charging: test stator isolation phase to ground
  • Charging: measure stator AC output unplugged
  • Charging: record final charging voltage after repair

How To Use It

Use this checklist before replacing parts. Work from the top down, record the result of each step, and only move to repair decisions when the failed test is clear.

The downloadable PDF includes checkboxes, notes space, final verification and technician sign-off fields for workshop records.

SEO and Research Notes

This original Motomech worksheet is built from common workshop inspection logic: verify the complaint, inspect safety-critical systems first, measure before replacing parts, document the failed test, and finish with a repeatable road-test or service verification.
