How a motorcycle electrical system works, part 2 CHARGING SYSTEM

Dino’s Tinker Shed, S4, Ep3, How a motorcycle electrical system works, part 2 CHARGING SYSTEM
In this episode, we are going to explore and test the components of the Suzuki DR650 charging system. Much of this will apply to other motorcycles other than the values you would look for in the testing.
Electrical can be challenging and I hope this video provides some help if your charging system is not functioning correctly.
I would like to point out that I am not a mechanic but am just a guy that likes to tinker so please do not take what I am saying as gospel and if unsure consult the service manual for the full procedures.
