Recently my R/R burnt out. One of the connectors on the yellow wires from the stator turned black and began to melt the plastic connector. The white wire did melt the connector and the heat caused the connector on the r/r (for the white wire) to actually break off. I noticed at the time that I discovered the bad R/R that the headlight stopped working. The headlight tested good. I removed it and connected it to the battery and it did light up. At this time I was only getting around 10 volts to the battery, so I knew the r/r was bad, but I wasn't sure why the headlight stopped working. I just figured it wasn't getting enough voltage.
I have now rewired and installed a used working R/R. I charged the battery and put it back in and started the bike. I'm now getting about 12.6 volts at idle and about 13.3 volts around 3000 - 4000 rpms.
The headlight is still not coming on???? I've checked the headlight fuse and it is good. All of the turn signals and brake lights are all working. All of the gauge lights are working.
Help, I want to take it for a test drive but can't since the headlight has stopped working!
