Just picked up this very clean 1993 NH 750. PO states that it is not charging the battery. Stator? Other suggestions? Thanks Jim

I got the bike home, battery wouldn't take a charge from my battery charger. Did display 12.5 volts. I jump started the bike, voltage ran up to about 13.2 at idle and 14.5 or so when revved to 3k. So it looks like charging system is ok. Took the bike for quick ride and it runs great. Time for some clean up and then to the sales lot(CL) in the spring. For $850 it is a lot of bike and in very good shape.

Dang, you stole it! Sounds like all it needs is a battery.

it is very clean, and will look better after I detail it. Only issue is some rust on the exhaust in the collection area. Surface rust only but needs to be addressed.

WOW! That was one great deal you got there. Those are really nice bikes.

I have 1982 Nighthawk 750! Nice ride, looks in great shape. I keep mine on a tender for most part. I will swapping to LED lights hopefully this spring. I believe they only charge at 2500+ rpm.

From other NH owners I am told, you can change the rectifier to help with charging but tender is easier option.
