Jenny Pryde Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Might the problem be the regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignige Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 the problem announced itself yesterday when i noticed the instrument lights were dim and the headlights didn't brighten when the engine was revved. on today's inspection ,the main wire coming out of the gen meets the main harness behind the LH sidepanel. It's a 2 wire connector usual jap thing with the locking tab, but could i split them, could i fook! plenty of WD and 2 pair of pliers later i've got them apart, no real corrosion to speak of. cleaned them up and now i get brighter lights when revvin. Now before i pat myself on the back, when this gen was replaced i put a dab of silicone grease inside this connection to stop any of this seizing business. So my question being could heat from a faulty gen (regulator is inside this gen) have sort of fused them together melting the grease? will still take the number please Rob..

Dirtmonky Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have used West country windings. Cannot rate em highly enough. My stator on my Montesa was on the blink. They could have charged me £150 for a total rewind. It only neededa new pickup, all checked under load and returned for about £80. Proper good quick service too, no fucking around. Get it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Charge the battery and check the electrolyte levels measure the voltage of the battery - it should be about 13v Then start the bike and measure the voltage again - it should be 14.5v (ish) if it's lowerred to about 12v the battery isn't being charged so suspect the alternator. Rev the engine a bit and if the voltage spikes to 15-16v it's the reg rec not soaking up the excess charge. Check the connectors and the wires (as you have already) and check the reg rec connections, also make sure the battery earth is ok. It might just be winter riding where the bike always has lights on, the battery gets colder and the connections get a little corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
