KTM Duke 125 - Battery not charging, Diagnosis and repair! 

My pleasure

Thanks Vince.

Thanks SP! 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks Cucumber man! Yes I'll have a go at pretty much anything!

@@BuyitFixit good on you 😁

No problem j s!

Thanks Ralph. Yes I thought it was odd too. I did do a search and it seems it's normal.

@@BuyitFixit Its probably leaking slightly through the shaft oil seal on the casing.

Thanks Andi, I'll let him know.

Thanks for that 👍 I'll pass that info onto my son as he's taken the bike away now. I think he was talking about replacing the seal behind the stator as it seemed to have a bit oil in there.

@@BuyitFixit the overall repair was quite good . thees small details help the long term . the chineese stator dose leak from the yellow wires port

@@MechanicsDIY Thanks Mechanics DIY 👍

Why would one replace the RR unit if its working fine.?

Thanks mate👍

😂😂😂

Sure, although I'm not sure how popular that would be, even this video hasn't been too popular :(

@@BuyitFixit that's what's wrong with RU-vid sometimes, not being able to do what you want

We'll I'm trying to make a channel that's helpful for people to repair stuff or sometimes interesting electronic hacks or teardowns. Next video is a tear down of a weather balloon a farmer friend found in his field..

@@BuyitFixit that's sound like a interesting video hope it's not one of those from America hehe

Thanks 👍I'm not sure if he got bored and sold it since 😂😂

I thought I had done that, perhaps I accidentally edited that bit out. I remember there was an AC voltage but it didn't seem quite right.

All three wires AC output should be the same??? In my case, two wire output is going up to 120 as rpm increases bu one wire show 80-90v. Battery is not charging I replace new bAttery. What do i do n0w?

How much should the reading be then ?

@@Kevin-us7jc it depends on how fast the engine is revving but they all should be the same'ish voltage that's the main thing

Thanks for that Simon 👍

Lmao. Unfortunately not, and seeing as it's indoors it's more of a 'bale in' 😂😂😂

Make hay while the sun shines.

Lol

There wasnt any oil in where the stator was. Not sure if that's normal though..

Alright i need to check mine

I believe that it's normal to have oil in there. The oil cools the stator I believe. You can best give a KTM dealership a call and ask them to be completely sure but I know it's the case on my Suzuki motorcycle. Nice and interesting video nonetheless!

@Stryker-qw4bp Thanks for that and Thanks for commenting.

Yes we need to drain the engine oil before opening The case.

Indeed! 😂😂

Yes, or generator if you prefer (from your previous comment) 👍

Yes very good point. I really should have, but I guess we all learn from our mistakes.

Can’t lie, we have all been there.. only once though :)

Just bike intercoms 😂😂No seriously I'm going to look at that next. I was editing my latest video until 2AM last night so I had something to put out today, didn't get to sleep until around 3:30am, up at 7:30am and then at the repair cafe all day. Then I got a call from a good friend asking for help with a car that had a problem with the crankshaft sensor not working after he replaced the engine. The CS sensor was a 2 pin and the one on the original engine was 3 pin. I did wire it up to the ECU the same way as the original engine and then it showed other faults. That turned into replacing the ECU, clocks, BCU, and key transponder from the donor vehicle as it turns out the engine was slightly different. I only just got back about an hour ago and now it's midnight.. and I'm replying to YT comments...

Could have been a faulty rectifier. I think the previous owner may have changed it before my sone got it.

I'm not sure about this particular engine, but I don't think I've seen them submerged in oil. For instance your car alternator isn't. I don't think he has it now as I think he sold it.

@@BuyitFixit"I think I was mistaken. I now believe that there is a jet that sprays oil around the cogs, which comes from the other side, and then the oil makes its way back to the sump. I was just wondering, as there seems to be an oil fill cap on top, and what other purpose could the gasket be serving.

I'm no expert, but perhaps the gaskets are to keep dirt and debris out. I could totally be wrong on this. I'd probably have to download a service manual to be sure. Seeing as he hasn't got it anymore I'll just leave it as a mystery 😂👍
