Need a little help here. My bike is dying when I turn the headlight on. Runs okay with it off but as soon as I turn it on it dies. Seems to me to be some sort of a charging problem. Any way to test the charging system?
I just put a brand new battery in...
I'm running Tyga headlights and tail lights
Has run okay in the past so this seems to have crept up recently

Sounds more like a short circuit to me! _________________ MC21SP Plaything

Well, I got a chance to throw a multimeter on it and while it's running the voltage just steadily drops so there isn't a charge getting back to the battery. I have tested the rectifier and it seems to be out although I'm not absolutely sure what the readings should be but there isn't a big difference when switching the leads around in the diode test mode on the multimeter.
Is there a way to test the stator to see if it is working as it should be?
