Hi all .. got some questions
First , my bike is a 96 1200c sportster

problem with my charging system

I put a meter on my fully charged battery at idle I'm getting 12.5 vdc
when I rev it up I get 12.7 to 12.9

I changed the regulator a couple months a go and figured it must be my stator .. I;m uploading a pic of my regulator plugs :

Is the two prong plug the dc side or the ac side ?

now wha'ts the best way to test if it's a bad regulator or bad stator
or maybe bad ground connection ?

Stator puts out AC and the regulator rectifies it to DC..

i have been reading that , thanks Glider . when testing the regulator is the 2 prong side the d.c. and the roung plug the incoming a.c. ?

 

[glider]

The regulator and the plug is DC, what comes from the stator is AC.
