Common Technical Issues: YAMAHA XV535 Virago

BRAND: YAMAHA
MODEL: XV535 Virago
YEARS: 98-00
CATEGORY: MOTORCYCLE

TECHNICAL ISSUE DETAILS
These Yamaha models have a permanent magnet battery charging system, consisting of a stator with three output wires, which feed into a regulator/rectifier. This unit rectifies the AC into DC and regulates this DC to 14.5V to ensure proper battery charging. The output from the regulator/rectifier connects to the battery through a main fuse. Common faults in this system: 1) Regulator/rectifier failure. The OEM regulator/rectifier is a commonly failing part. The stock unit is physically small and has very limited heatsinking capacity. 2) Stator failure. The stator fails regularly. Causes are age, heat and vibration. Test and replace when it tests bad. We recommend using the fault finding chart. This guide will help you diagnose the charging system quickly.
