i am still modding my headlight but i guess the voltage regulator is pretty broken since battery charging voltage is about 18v which is way too high...
but the ac voltage of my headlight is even higher i get readings of 40v rectified dc which probbaly should drop down a bit when load is applied but the led starts to flicker at high rpm so voltage is too high or the sine wave is too fast for the diode bridge but i guess its too high voltage since the other led's on the led light also start to light up so i guess thats the overvoltage protection
but i think i need to try a new regulator first and then see how high the voltage is at the headlight

yeah, all this technical electrical information went right over my head, all i know is that the only things the my stator powers are my small 15w driving lights, the tail running light and it charges the battery. everything else is now run off the battery.
