Great Ride dead Battery
Went for a 400 km scoot yesterday great day but hit a rain/hail storm last 20 km home , as i git home i noticed tach not working then speedo started jumping around and bike died in my driveway
1998 RoadKing EFI , engine code 16 which was battery below 6.2 volts , now thats a dead battery
Was late so i just pulled the battery out this morning and put it on a charger
Any basics to look for ? cables were tight

Looks like i've got problems ---Stator readings in AC volts 1000 rpm 7.5 at 3000 rpm 18 so book says 16-20 VAC per 1000 rpm i also get nothing from the voltage regulator no change at the battery at any RPM stator not shorted or grounded ?
Do I need both ?
I unplugged the 2 pin connection from between the stator and the regulator this is where i took the ac readings
Help

18V AC at 3K RPM is too low. As I think I mention in the stickey, I always recommend a new regulator if you are replacing the stator. It is also unusual for a stator to go out with low voltage output and not be shorted to the case. I would take a very close look at the magnets while you are in there, or it could be shorted to itself, also unusual. If your ohm meter is good enough, you might see a very low reading across the pins. Regardless, I'd say it's coming apart.
