I'm kind of in a rush here, so I'm not going to give a full-blown explanation of my problem just yet.
I have two questions first.
Is the charging system on these bikes similar to that of a cars ... meaning, if I have the bike running without the battery installed, should I see full charging voltage at the terminals?
Secondly, is there a way to determine what type of stator (number of poles) without having the flywheel off? I ordered a puller, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks, Gene
