I agree about expert reps, John.....however...
1 He is getting a good ac voltage across all three phases.
2 He is showing no connection between any phase and earth on ohms.
3 He is now getting a decent voltage across the battery with headlight on.
4 A leak caused by poor insulation between windings would not short to earth but would show as reduced ac voltage on that phase and certainly would not account for ac between coils and earth. Only connection between the coils and earth could do that.
5 The only POSSIBLE fault is BB SAYS he is getting airy fairy readings between windings and earth but admits he is not the worlds most experienced electrician (Sorry BB).
6 Do you see any particular reason why he should not try riding the bike especially with a meter to watch the charging level.
