Charging Issue
Hello XSers,
‘79 XS1100: Bike wouldnt start, had electrical shop fix it, found a broken wire. Now, bike will run but dies after warming up. Bike is getting barely 12 volts at 3K RPMs. Is that normal? Any ideas where to look for fix? Thanks, Jeff

BTW, plug-in for stop/run switch is under fuel tank against right top frame rail.

I suggest that you check and clean the clip connector behind the fuse block. There is a 4 wire clip there from the stator (generator) that is prone to corrosion and once that happens, one or more contacts will arc and get real hot. The clip will be 3 white wires and one yellow, although the yellow one usually looks white as well.
