I am following the Clymer manual and at idle my vulcan 900 is averaging around 14amps. When I increase the RPMs it stays at 14amps. 14amps is within the range for the 3000rpm test, however the amps did not increase as they should.
According to the Clymer manual, the next step is to test the alternator, which requires removing the outer cover and Alternator cover. That appears to take removing the floor board and shifter. Ugh!
According to this youtube guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v2LtHlvcqI) there is a way to test the stator without all that removal.
My question: does this method apply to a 08 Vulcan 900? Do I do exactly as he did it in the video?
