Remember I change parts, I'm not a mechanic, I never used on of these before.
I bought a multimeter at Sears last night, the cheap one, $19.95.
So to test the stator I disconnected the harness from the rec, and folow the directions from the Yamaha manual.
The MM is on Ohm, "20". I also have 2000, 20K, 200K, and 2000K. 20 looked good to me. I've got the red lead in the red plug and the black lead in the "COM" plug. This is correct, right?
When I touch the leads to the stator harness, I get a flash of numbers and it settles on .4. Obivously well out of range. Am I reading/understanding this correctly?
The MM does work as I tested my battery and got 12.7, with the bike not running.
Now ask me to install the new stator, no problem.
Thanks!
