Suzuki Ltz 400 battery not charging help plz

[Rez]

Hi I just recently had a full engine rebuild that’s all fine but the battery is not charging so the mechanic Said it’s the stator or the rectifier  so just bought them and it’s still not charging the battery. What else can it be.

It could be that the battery was drained and is now bad, I would get it tested. But more than likely if it was fine before, your mechanic left off a ground or something else. I would start testing wires for voltage.

While the bike is running take the battery terminals off of the battery and test for voltage with a tester on the terminal wires.   See if you get DC voltage and if so what is the voltage?

Ok for the replies getting the quad bk 2nite so will give it a try 2moz and let u no. Thanks.

He did say there is voltage coming out the stator into the  rectifier but nuffing coming out the rectifier into the battery but it’s a new part.

I think you have to go through all of the wiring with a tester as well as make sure all wires,plugs,grounds are properly reconnected. Especially because it’s a rebuild a wire could have gotten hit someplace.  Second if the bike runs take the battery off and run the bike and test for voltage on the terminal wires. Lastly I would reinstall the old rectifier if you still have it and try that.  Look for fuses etc.  Aside from that you will have to look into the engine to verify that the stator is working correctly and all of the components were installed properly.  Get the bike back and try those few things and see what happens.

One of the wires that plug in to the rectifier was Brock.
