Hi all. My 2016 ES bike has been throwing code 51 on the ABS. (Battery voltage too high) I put a FLUKE on it, and tested voltages at battery level and it would be constant 13.9-14.2 as it warms up. No issues at higher rpms etc. Then I put it on the MIN MAX recorder and could see it occasionally spike to 15v for a millisecond and so I figured Ha! Regulator needs replacement even though diodes metered out ok in it.
(I should mention that I have a LION battery but it ran fine with it for 15000kms before this showed up)
Got a new regulator specifically “made” Lion batteries and put it in. Same issue . I put the meter back on it and same spikes of voltage , in fact on FAST MIN MAX it would spike to 18v .
I checked the stator according to manual but my OHM readings are all .38-.39 ohms rather than the .11-.16 the manual calls for.
Am I in for a stator replacement? Was there a change for later bikes that changed these readings? I am surprised that both stator coil readings are so close at 0.38 as if it was meant to be, and that it is working perfectly fine except for the occasional spike which I am assuming is throwing the 51 code.
Measuring out on AC 23-24vAC at idle, 65 around 3000, 110 around 5000rpm, both windings same
Help, I don’t want to dump more money into wrong parts and the nearest dealer is 1000 away. If the stator spec hasn’t changed , I guess that’s where I am headed ,new stator.
thanks in advance for confirming
