Ok 01 SERG Started not charging the other day, checked battery it was low, imagine that with the charging system not putting out. I checked the stator and has 7.5 volts AC at 1000 rpm and about 15-17 volts AC at 2000 rpm = bad stator I know. Then checked the reg, no cont across the pins, but there is .2 to .4 volts from pin to ground which means bad diode in reg I am told. So this means that either the batt (btw the batt still wont hold a charge) the reg and the stator went bad all at once or that the reg or stator went and took the rest with it when it went. If anyone has that answer great. But on to the real question. What damn amps is the stock stator, dealer says 38amp, some catalogs say 45 amp. Big price difference here. Does it matter to the reg or the rotor if you use a 45 amp in a 38 amp or vise versa? Any help would be appreciated.
