Roketa Lifan 200cc stator and electrical help

Hello and welcome.

Check your voltage at the battery with your engine up to speed. Mine at idle only reads 12v but at speed say maybe around 20mph I get the correct 13.7 or so at the battery. I have one of these on my bike and keep a constant eye on my voltage.

Thanks for posting the good link.

I'm all to familiar with monitoring charging systems. Both my 79 CB-750 and Kawasaki Vulcan 750 are known for weak charging system components. I installed these LED battery gauges on both of them.

They are Kuryakyn brand and run about $35 though. I'm sure there are less expensive options available though. I particularly like the one linked above, it is less than $2.

Thanks for the link I also ordered 2. Installed a power point the other day for gps so can plug in there.

Thanks for the welcome, and the sharing

I did check it at idle, and then gave it throttle. I did not drive it though. So i will be taking my volt meter from my car

and throwing that on to check, i will update you by monday (long weekend ahead). I like your suggested volt meter, but I hate cigarette outlets. not the outlets themselves, but the plug ends-they always seem to suck, and I'm wondering how you even get yours to work while on a bike nonetheless

any idea about whether turning the stator one bolt pattern or the other will affect anything?

Thanks again Adjuster
