12.84 volts The charging threshold for the Odyssey is 12.65v (85%). This is the point at which the AGM should be properly "conditioned." Asking our V11's flinky charging system to perform the heavy lifting of bringing back an Odyssey more deeply discharged is likely to lead to disappointments.

Worth also checking the AC output of the two yellow stator wires to be certain the alternator is functioning before getting the regulator. Your Odyssey is about 50% at 12.5 volts. Follow the procedure in the "answer" post of the conditioning thread to bring it up with a proper external charger with over 6 amps (not a "trickle" charger).

Thanks for sharing the listings, @drossell7. Shall we clarify the lever is for the clutch side, black (not the early V11 "brown") . . .

First, always go through and clean/ DeOxit/ tighten all connections including the stack of terminals on the battery. Is there any charging voltage at all? Check the battery voltage, key on/not running, then at idle, and at some rpm. What is the battery make/ age? If it is low, see if it will take a charge from an external charger. If it is an Odyssey, see the "answer" post in this thread for correct charging (if it is "dead" /below 12.0 volts. there is a special procedure to bring it up with a good battery before conditioning):

Glad to hear you and Scura #269 are remaining united, @emry! One of our inaugural members, Emry joined in September 2002!

These are like the Shindengan MOFSET ?

Kind of the opposite end of the spectrum from converting back to car-buretters . . .

I want it. Want it bad . . .

I'd like offer a clarification of this point . . . The factory regulator ground is a small gauge wire that does go back to the battery through the factory wiring loom. The regulator (case) benefits from a robust ground directly to the engine/timing chest. What is critical to prevent that tiny wire from (unsuccessfully) carrying the full grounding current, is to regularly service the battery negative/ main ground to the back of the gearbox behind the seat latch: Otherwise: PHOOF!!

The issue is long gone as long as V11 owners realize that running a true, properly rated and constructed, high current micro-ISO relay is the biggest part of the solution. (Issues like tight relay connections can be contributors.) Presently, this Picker Components relay meets or exceeds what we learned to expect from the (nla) OMRON G8HE: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/picker-components/PC782-1C-12S-R-X/12352866 DATA SHEET

It appears @drossell7 has not logged back on since posting the item two days ago.

@Kapiti kiwi, I keep looking at this image and really can't make it out. Can you take a sharper image, further out and tell us where any of those wires go ? I suspect some "custom wiring" and possibly a replacement regulator (with the original left in place, but disconnected) . . .

This appears to be the charging reference connector for the regulator: edit/ June 25, 2025: See post below. This is not the two wire (black + white) charging reference on the left side of the frame: While these two "bullet connectors" look to be the yellow wires that should connect to the stator to the regulator (without them connected, there will be no charging unless someone has connected the stator/alternator another way): Has the regulator been replaced/ modified? What is the battery voltage, key off, then the voltage at idle and at "some" rpm?

I did. Nonmagnetic. The forming lines look like a casting to me, but I know forging can makes lines (seams) like that, as well.

Aluminum, me thinks. Looks like a casting to me.

@Jaide, did you see this just came up?

Not your #269, @emry?

Looks like the factory wire "lever" is ~110mm, offset about 64mm for its curve around the exhaust. Obviously too long to prevent the leverage from breaking the mounting points, eventually.

@swooshdave, what is the length of your tang (relative to the wire "lever")?

So interesting to watch this development, @swooshdave! Having replaced a couple of the factory wire "levers", I settled on using the broken safety retention washer that failed to retain my gearbox input hub. I'm not sure if that is way-cool or sad&pathetic, but "it is" . . .

Cool. Lovin' some Spanish Moon John Scofield style . . .

+1 ! Looks like "R Trower" registered with BaT solely to bid on this Sport Ballabio. I hope he finds us!

Frikkin' unbelievable V11 (V10?) Sport . . .

Oh, yes. There remains the matter of "The Most Beautiful Café Racer, Yet" . . .
