82 KZ1100 charging issue

Before I loaded it on the trailer and moved it to Florida I had it in the shop for a carb re-jet and some electrical problems. New battery and stator installed. It was sort of charging but just barely 12 volts. I think he said 11.7
Anyway, it was running great while it ran. I took it out for an 8 mile ride to test it out. First 2 miles it ran like a new bike. Took off from the light and a little hesitation but nothing bad. Cruised steady at 55mph then sputtered. Gave it some more rpms and it cleared up. Next stop it sputtered a lot but I got it going. Last 2 miles were very bad but it did ok as long as the rpms were kept up. It died in the driveway. Battery was dead too.

I'm going to get a new rectifier. Is there anything else it
could it be besides the rectifier? The stator was a new unit

Well you are going to have to isolate the problems most apparent first. Once you repair the charging problem, the electrical system can no longer be blamed for these problems, and you can move on to something else. My initial response was that you needed a good carb cleaning, but if your circuit voltage was only at 10 volts or so, your coils wouldn't have had the required voltage to fire a good spark. One problem at a time. Good luck on the fix. Keep us posted.
