I have a 1999 sportsman 500, the battery wont charge, and the speedometer doesn't work, anyone know if there is a common element here?

Gonna have to dissect this one piece by piece. What voltage r u getting to the battery terminals when the bike is running?

 

[todd76]

12v, resistance on the stator is good

Welcome to the board!:med:

If ur only getting 12v at the terminals when the bike is running there is a charging problem because ur only reading battery voltage. What were ur 3 coil readings?

Its likely the rectifier/regulator.

Thats what i was thinking polman, i ordered one yesterday...hopefully that does the trick
