2001 K1 1000 Charging question??

[Wilcoes1984]

Hi there.

Got a 2001 GSXR 1000 K1, What sort of voltage should i be getting at the battery on idle? and what should i be getting at 4000-5000 rpm??

Basically im getting around 13.3-4 at idle, as soon as i rev it up it starts dropping, quite quickly way down to low 12's??

Any idea would be great? Thanks

My e46 cage does that but then it does rise back up. Is yours staying low? If so I'd be looking at regulator rectifier. I've heard they are known problem points on Gixers but I don't know if it's model specific

I know this is for a k7 750 but the principles should be the same

Also, always worth checking what the competition has to say. I found this post, it might give you a few pointers
