[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 109247, member: 58"] John Here is a quick test. Disconnect the external F wire between the regulator and the dynamo and insulate any bare connections. Then start the bike up and see what the charging is doing. If there is no charge then the fault points to the regulator and if it still charges 6A-8A then the fault is in the dynamo in the form of an internal short between the F & D terminals or wiring inside the dynamo. I have run a Chinamo with a DVR2 in the past with no problems and once the battery is fully charged it should settle down to less than 1A if no lights are on. [/QUOTE]
