Hello

I have managed to cook the battery,
and have put it down to overcharging, which would
imply the recgulator/rectifier is faulty . . . or the battery

As I have expierence of this in the past with three regulators
burning out, and the present one is a electrix RR51 which
I understand would solve this problem . . .

Thicker wires have all replaced standard,

without looking at the bike, which will be the weekend now
is there any thing I should be looking for apart from melted wires:(

any input would be great

Can't help with those mate, but what I can help with is a battery shop that stocks the standard batteries in Twickenham, a 3 minute walk from Twickenham green if you're stuck.

I got the replacement battery from them for my 998R.

Sorry to hear this Steve...don't ya just love it!

I haven't had the problem of frying the reg/rec, but this thread where I had a problem with a non-charging battery icludes some good info on how to determine if it is the RR that is knackered or summut else!

I may also have a spare RR lying about if you want to try it?

Hello

Thanks for the link Harv, I seem to remember the problems
you had . . looks like I will have my work cut out, if it not the battery.

I had the Varta battery fitted, made Nelly laugh at the service
when he took the panel off mickey mouse battery:lol:

and flew out down alone the road.
