The regulator/rectifier assembly controls charge rate to the battery, just like on a car. If battery voltage is above 13.5 and climbs as engine rpm increases to a max of about 15.2, consider it normal. When I bought my '01, it had the H-D ign switch. The symptoms were pretty graphic.. no fuel pump/no start. Replaced the switch with an oem and no problem since. Popping on decel is a function of the reed valve assy. Oem exhaust doesn't have the problem, aftermarket exhaust exacerbates the issue. Sealing off the air intake to the valves solves the popping...I.E. "marbleing".  Replacing the reeds with coaster plates is a more permanent fix.

Tested the pick up coils working properly. I remember some concerns mentioned about a HD type ignition swith being located on the dash, which my scoot has

1. what were the symptoms which caused you to think it was the HD type ignition switch

2. Did it make the bike run poorly on de-cel .....ie, pop or backfire?

3. can a faulty rectifire(sorry about the spelling) cause popping or backfire?

Thanks for your help
Tim
