I concur. Great to find a bloke who knows what he's talking about and is willing to share it in the patient way you did. You don't have to apologise for complexity and if waffling is adding context and detail than it's allowed too. Great work. Interesting way of starting a fire.

That is the best how to I have seen or read to fully diagnose a charging system fault!!! Thanks!!

Outstanding instructional detail, thank you for showing how to performs the ohms check on the faulty generator wires, many only perform the rewind.

For flip sakes, been hunting so long for someone with skill at explaining in detail what goes on in my bike. Thanks for your effort and help, much appreciated.

I have to add also this is the best guide I have seen from someone who actually knows exactly what they are talking about - well done sir

This is by far the most helpful video I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you James. I knew absolutely nothing about the electrical systems of a bike before this video, and now I feel that I get the whole idea about what's going on in there. You're genius. Hope we could have such educated and knows-what-he-does-exactly type mechanics like you around here too. Such a great misfortune.. I'll be digging your other videos. Thanks again..

Very good tutorial, thank you. The graphic waveform of AC when idling vs. higher revs frequency and amplitude is so informative.

You sir are an absolute genius. I have a six-month old Harley that has gone through three regulators. After watching your video I'm positive it's the stator/generator that is stuffed. They "The Technicians" keep saying it's a bad batch of regulators, and the only way this could be the case, is if the diodes were stuffed in all three regulators? I don't think so. Which leads me to conclude that it's the stator/generator. Oh and by the way there's nothing wrong with waffling 👍👍👍.

Finally! Someone who point out that, you can only check diodes in R/R, not the regulation circuit. It seems that the whole world is missing that.

Fantastic video tutorial.... Could not believe it was 1hr plus video.... I've gained confidence in tackling more complex electrical work, very informative, thank you.

great to see you posting again Jim, along with yourself and Delboy I've learnt so much and saved loads of money, cheers.

This is the best ever electrical charging system video ever made. I actually understand exactly how it works now after watching the video Better then evening class. Thank you James Wright-Roberts and please make more videos

What a fantastic video. I've been riding for years and always wondered about this as had heard about rr's, windings and generators but never knew the setup. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise.

Great job, glad that you explained the different symptoms of regulator and alternator failings.

Well explained , Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I learned a lot from it.

Thanks for your time and effort to explain this subject - great help. Cheers

This is a very very helpfull video. Thank you so much! You're not just say what you do, but also WHY you do it. In detail. Excellent!

thanks for making this and explaining how it all works in an easy to understand way,great job mate

I feel I have a good basic understanding of electrical systems. I have always been reluctant to invest in an oscilloscope, but since watching your video, I see the importance of using one. Thank you James for being patient, and thorough.

Thank you very much for this great demonstration and shared your experience with us.

Thanks for taking the time to create a nice tutorial for us DIY’s. 👍🖖🏽

Found this really interesting. Good process to follow for those kind of issues. 10/10

Great info, man. Can definitely say I know a lot more about my charging system now. Thanks.

I am not much familiar with electricals but your video was so informative and well explained, I understood the whole concept. Thank you for making such an awesome video.

Just watched all of this , loved it ! , Some very helpful tips and knowledge for my 26 year old zzr

Excellent video quality, clear explanations... Even I understood it! James, you are the professor, the master. Please, can I have some more?

That was very educational and informative, thanks Jim.

Terrific video, thank you! This helped me diagnose and repair my 2002 Yamaha Road Star Silverado. Cheers!

Thank you very much for your time. It was the best I have seen with the practical side shown excellently. I wish there were more videos like this. I going to recommend to all my friends

Ah man you are very good thank you. It’s fantastic to get a professional to explain. Thank you

I feel a lot wiser now, thanks for the video keep up the good work.

Wow. I'm bran new at all things motorcycle electronics, and I'm dealing with the symptoms of flat battery. In researching the possible problems, I found your video. I'm so glad that I watched this one first. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this. You did a really great job, despite your humble self-doubt. I intend to watch this again before I tackle my bike, but I already feel much more confident. Thank you again.

Thanks so much, those are very kind words. I get most of my inspiration from comments like this. thank you :)

Very helpful, very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

You explained it perfectly! The asw. u did in upper r corner would be 2 switches on some bikes, an engine run sw. when on it sends juice to the ignition system points condenser coils etc and to one side of the starter sw.

Happy days. Another very informative video and baseball caps in your store. Sorted. By the way, what you call waffling is just you imparting essential, basic, information to learners like me, who may only have a slight grasp of the concept. Carry on waffling.

Great video, interesting and informative. Really enjoy these tutorial vids, I personally like the "waffling". Thanks.

You sir explain yourself very well, thankyou! I completely enjoyed the attention to detail, thank you again, keep it up!

Excellent video thank you. the waffling helps as well

Fantastic Video REALLY HRLPRD me understand. I have a Honda cbr 600 ft 1996 with timefelt charging issues and just got worse. NEEDED to understand MORE you did it like a TEACHER Thankyou Verymuch

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you so much!

Thank you! You helped me fix my no charging problem!

Excellent video.It's well explained & very informative,I learned a lot.Thanks

I learned so much from this video. Thanks for sharing!

Great help. Thank you for taking the time.

Good thorough demo, thanks

Thanks for easy and straight forward video. I’ll double check connection to battery BEFORE pulling apart :)

came across a bit of your stuff recently -excellent no need to apologize real good stuff I am sure it is helping many out and just plain interesting to others. ta

I watched that whole video. Thanks for that education. I am about to wire up a 76 harley and although I'm pretty good with wrenching, I was a little intimidated with this part. Now I am at least confident enough to try. Really well explained. 👍👍👍

Nice video thanks, I remember having a 1980s Suzuki & book said should get 80v off each phase when reved up, seemed a bit high to me. Well done.

Nice video, thank you for making it. As for the theory bits, it is not only useful for those who don't know anything about this, because for one thing, a little refresher never hurts, and for another, it is interesting to see how someone goes about explaining magnetic fields and stuff. Kudos for overcoming your reluctance to get into it. For me, however, the most interesting was to watch someone both knowledgeable and experienced to solve the real life problem. Thank you again with hopes for more vids like this to come.

Thanks for doing these James

I really like your videos, lots of useful information and insight, all clearly explained. Thank you!

great stuff really helps me understand my motorbike better

Thanks for the efforts to make this tutorial 🤗

Excellent video. My battery swelled before failure so this was helpful

Excellent! You are skilled and competent; no need to be apologetic. "Smoother" KZreadrs are more scripted and rehearsed and do much more editing, but I don't mind the slow pace of your lengthy vid -- it was relaxing, and you presented at a speed which I could comprehend, without needing to pause and replay parts of it.

Great video, now I need a basic lays out the wiring from battery to all other components in the order they go, in a easy to read, Drawing. although what I just saw helped a great bit. THANKS for posting.

Great video mate. Some might say it’s a bit long, but that’s because people have no patience. If they watched it attentively there are a number of tips and tricks to pick up on - even for the experienced home tinkerer. Keep doing what you’re doing, including the “waffling” because some of us want more comprehensive explanations. Let the vacant headed watch the quick videos and fix their bike without understanding what they’ve done! Cheers for your efforts.

Excellent video!. Thank you so much. Im taking my multimeter out to the bike right now!

Superb ,clearly clarify my doubt very nice .

this video helped me a lot with a project im doing

Great video and explanations.

Not waffle at all. Very instructive. Similar to what happened to my Street Triple, only it was the Reg/Rec and I was lucky it didn't fry the alternator. Thank you.

Excellent review of this whole area, there are so many videos that don’t cover the technical side, usually because the host is waffling about things they only have surface knowledge of... I dont think you waffle at all.. you provide good solid information. Don’t be put off by idiots who want you to just vomit up what they want and who don’t have the patience to watch and be educated. Top class

Another excellent video. Much appreciated.

Great video, good use of the scope, thank you

i think i just found my favorite channel 🙌

Very helpful video film for me,Now I understand how it work . Thanks [PL].

Best explanation have seen on this subject. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your obvious experience. fab

very helpful easy to follow. keep making the videos

Thanks for the great video

wow. this is one of the coolest video i ved seen the hole mouth. Many Thanks !

Top job many thanks for giving your time

awesome class !! thanks man!

Brilliant, although I have the grasp on electrics, charging and regulation, that was a well thought out and presented video and I learnt a few things along the way, firstly I have to get one of those Snap on multi function testers , you also have a nice clean work ethic as well. good on you Bud!!

So great and fantastic and practical the video! Spreads powerful confidence to riders and mechanics. Really kindhearted to really want to share all your knowledge! Great teacher! Learnt so much in depth from you! Observations: 1. It is not safe to have a tea cup next to your workspace full of metal bits and drinking it. 2. The waffling is just your very cute way of thinking aloud but viewers can just speed it up at 1.5x speed and the viewer will find the video very watchable. All in all, I like best the oscilloscope and seeing the AC wave forms and the differences in a weak amplification denoting a bad part. Well-done!!!!
