So here's the issue with the voltage. It's idling at 19v at the lights, blown every single one of them. Revving to 30v before the voltage cuts out completely, which I'm sure is the regulator giving up and shutting off. The battery voltage doesn't change at ALL ever, which makes sense because the check diodes are what regulates the voltage back to the battery and they are toast. My new ones will be here tomorrow.

NOW, that said.... "I" think the system can oscillate because I suspect one of the check diodes is tied to ground (theory). The problem here is that in a normal scoot the regulator is the only part. This one has a 2 plug regulator instead of a 1 plug, it's huge comparably in size. It has a resistor. It has 2 check diodes. I haven't been able to talk to someone familiar with this setup to help troubleshoot the overvoltage. I'd happily order a regulator if I knew that would fix it.

CHECKLIST:

Since the stator is putting out, is there ANY way it could be on the fritz and be shooting too much into the regulator?

Since the check diodes are out of the system, is there nay way it could be oscillating without them, or needing them to send the extra voltage back to the battery to complete the circuit?

The good news... Don't need a bearing. The bad, splines are causing the play. Looks like there should be a bushing on the end of the wheel and there is not. Anyone know if there was one originally? Trying to get it to stop wobbling. It's making the handling crazy. It also looks like the case is out of round but idk how that affects it because the whole axle turns so it shouldn't be touching the case, probably just a noticeable useless fact.

It's the two plug regulator on 250/260s.

I also have these 2 diodes that have been looking toasty lately and idk what they are for.

The wonderful smell of new carb. I removed all the useless bits and its ready to go.

The frame up close in the daytime.



The mini ape bars are as big as my VN750's.



After unbolting the front frame plate that holds everything there is still a spot for the headlight I choose to attach. It's pretty obvious this frame was intended for greater things because everything that is bolted to it unbolts to allow things to be changed out for motorcycle parts. This is no scooter frame.....
