I have no charge from my alternator. I don't know if it's the stator or the regulator. I read the tech tip on checking the regulator, but what is a field coil connecting clip?
I see I need to make a little jumper wire for it, and using the volt meter on the battery... got that part. I connect one of the wires to ground with another jumper, but not quite sure what it's telling me to do with the positive jumper from the battery. And how long do I have to check this before things on the bike start shorting out? Any pics would be great!
The other thing I wanted to ask is... I only found one regulator for the XJ 1100. I saw several from XJ750's Are they interchangeable?
Thanks guys.

leave the volt meter hooked up across the battery to check charging voltage. Unhook the field coil connector clip from behind the fuse panel. Hook a ground to one wire of the field coil. Jumper the positive side of the battery and get the other end of the jumper ready to provide current to the field coil at the clip. Start the bike and read the voltage. Now touch the remaining wire of the field coil and observe the voltage response across the battery.
