    To make it short, I have à 93 with à charging problem. I've changed the regulator two times, put on a vfrness and changed the stator that was toasted.
    Once the stator was changed I thought my problem was solved because my voltage was between 13.5 & 14.5 volt.
    I took my Bike out for a ride and after two hour i rode back to my house and the bike died in my driveway.
    The voltage was at 10.5 volt and after à full charge, the bike was not e en charging at 12 volt.
    I tried 3 different RR i have on hand and they were all the same results.
    The 3 phase on the stator are at 80 volt.
    I dont know what to do now!

    I realy need help...

    I'm gonna make some guesses - apology in advance if I'm wrong, please no offense intended......

    There's an old saying - garbage in, garbage out....
    So, I'm guessing you bought stators off ebay or have been replacing with Electrolux, Ricks or some no name R/Rs and stators?
    You aready said you are using a VFRness...

    B'for I go on - the number one thing you have to have is a good battery.. have you checked that? Get the battery load tested..it's possible a new battery could cure it, but if not.....
    Then... my 21 cents....
    Check all after the battery is confirmed good. -- Search the "Drill" Run that test.
    - Ditch the VFRness!
    - Get the stator rewinded at Custom Rewind in Alabama. OEM if you could find it, but that's tough.
    - Get a good R/R from www.roadstercycle.com
    - Wire the R/R direct to the battery.
    - Eliminate connectors between the stator and R/R -



    VFR's dont do well with less than quality charging components, so go from there.

    Mello Dude, you are right on all your suppositions.
    Today, I retested my stator without any modifications on my setup.
    I have 80 volt between each phase.
    I have about 1 ohm between the three phase and... I have 1.2 ohm between each phase and the ground .
    Is my stator bad or could it be another thing?
    My stator is brand new from ebay and is à Heavy Duty by Procom.

    The consensus here is to only use a Honda stator, or get it rewound at a motorcycle specific rewind place.
    Procom stuff is crap.
    + 1 on making sure your battery is good.

    Thank guys, I Will follow your recommandations.

    But for now, I would like to know If with the result I have on my stator I can say it is bad for a refund.

    Also, is there any trusted place in Canada/Quebec where I could rewind my stator?

    You should get infinity (open circuit) between winding and earth.

    As OZ states - you should have a completely open circuit - infinity on your A/B/C leads to earth. You stated, you have 1.2 ohms on each. Not good, junk. Get refund.
    Cant recommend a rewind in Canada so...
    You have 2 other options - as mentioned before, send the OEM used stator to Alabama and ask to have them rewind. Also asks for extra long leads, maybe 30 inches.
    I have not done this yet, but plan to on my 5th gen. I have heard prices are reasonable. ~$125... Also, I have heard, best way to contact them is by phone call, and the gentlemen has MS so be patient.

    #2 Buy OEM - Partzilla has the best price on this one that I have seen, but still $280ish, very spendy.
    https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/1993/vfr750f-a-vfr/alternator

    Next, I dont know your R/R situation, but the Roadstercycle site sells the FH020aa or SH847 and either is the current consensus best way to go as of now.

    Im looking to buy used oem stator.
    Is the 94-97 stator fit on a 93?
