Yeah, that happens eventually. Usually after prolonged periods of "not cleaning and lubricating"

Thanks for your comments Nelly and Skidlids.

I have always kept all connector blocks full of silicon grease, to try to keep away corrosion, especially the alternator/reg-rec connector block.

However, I can see this grease becoming fuel for the fire I experienced, if the alternator/reg-rec connector block did heat up from increased resistance.

New cable (35amp) and connector block (45amp) on the way, and I will bung in a new fuel filter in case this is upping the current draw.

Nelly - deeply hurt that you infer my bike is grubby. 'Tis always nice and shiny.
