Default 1994 Ultra Classic charging issue I think

Noticed that my charging guage is registering only 11volts. Doesn't move basically.

I checked the battery with a tester and it is 12.5 volts.
Crank it up and it stays at or near 12.5 volts with everythihg on.

I've had this bike for 2 months and it looks like the voltage regulator/rectifier on top of the oil cooler has been changed recently.

I've read there may be a regulatr/relay somewhere on this bike but have not found anything revealing.

any ideas or any online manuals to look at ?

Thanks in advance

Don't trust the guage.. Check the battery with a good volt meter. You should read 12.6 to 12.8 volts on a full charge. Crank the bike.. Rev it to 2500 rpm, the voltage at the battery should now read 14.0 to 14.25 If thats the case,then your charging system is fine..

Thumbs up

Figured it out.

Replaced the 7.00 battery relay near the battery......nothing changed.
Replaced the regulator......
