Am I right in thinking if you dont put 12v in you will never get a charging system to work,makes sense if the battery is goosed.

If the charging is done by alternator then it will need an "exciter" current to start the alternator. If the battery has enough life to start the engine then it will excite the alternator.

battery is new - still no good - hmmm
ok - check charge to battery - shud be - 13.5 - 15.0 - getting tickover - 13.2 lights on - 12 rear fog - 9 thats not right so am i getting a charge out at all from the stator ok - disconnected stator plug from the regulator - done these tests check each yellow [3 off] wire to earth - should be no continuity - ok check resistence of each yellow wire out of stator - spec - 0.2 - 0.4 ohms - reading i got - 0.5 ohms on each checked each wire for continuity from regulator to stator - all 3 ok with them disconnected checked stator for AC output - spec 65v + - output 2 ok one i couldnt get reading on more than about 10v - test taken from cold - 5k rpm if iv checked the wires for continuity out from the stator and its fine - it is right that to get the readings i just pop the probes from each of the 3 yellows in turn giving 3 readings? if ones not reading do that mean for defo that the stator is goosed? ****** car.. doin my head in - if it is goosed iv gotta take engine out to get at it.. cover is right up on the footwell

Did you have the dash battery warning light wired up? With my Hitachi car alternator it was required for the voltage regulator to provide any voltage at all.

1 phase is down possibly.
Vehicle alternator,3 phase,3 seperate coils out of phase if that makes sense.

im guessing that the pole iv checked that didnt have a reading is correct. If itscoming out the generator stator it will be in AC. So its alternating current maybe the pin with no output was that alternating. If it were DC it would be each pin with output. Or am i wrong. Still think the rectifier / regulator maybe faulty

Not sure about stator driven charging but cars etc "alternate " and rectify to dc with voltage regulator, daft question what battery are you using and is it possible to use a car battery,not sure if bike charging system would have capacity for large car battery.
