91 GL1500 charging issue.
I have a 91 GL1500 with a charging problem. I have fitted a new Yuasa HD battery and a new Honda alternator but still the issue persists. Works perfect on start up charging around 13.9 whilst on choke then around 11.9 at idle @ 850. Once the bike starts warming up the charge rate drops. Struggling to get 12 with revs and at idle it drops like a stone till the bike cuts out and then the battery is flat. Dog bone and battery connections all good. Obviously a heat related issue. Both fans work as they should. Ive checked the earth by the thermo switch and all ok. Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks.

Have you measured charging voltage right at the alternator output terminal?
