M600 voltage question

MotoNik · 30-11-2020, 03:57 PM

Hi folks,

Just fitted a volt meter on my M600, as I suspect it's over-charging. It's reading around 13.7-13.8V while idling, and 15.0-15.3V while riding. Mostly bang on 15.0, in fact.

My feeling is it shouldn't really be higher than about 14.5V or thereabouts. What's the general consensus?

I'm going to assume the regulator is probably duff, or failing, but wanted to check the collective wisdom before ordering a replacement.

Thanks in advance!

Nik
