Hello Dougie748

sorry to hear about your day,

I had a simular problem charged the battery went out for a spin
then the bike died, the problem was the battery was not
charging, turned out to be the wiring to/from the regulator so after thicker guage wire was fitted as suggested by Shazaam.
All was running fine, but as you do you get paranoid it will happen again, so for a month or so
I fitted a small LED 12v battery monitor as here

just to keep an eye on what the battery was doing.

The bike is in safe hands now.

Good luck

Just replaced the wiring from the alternator to the RR this weekend on mine, works fine now. The standard wiring is insufficiently rated for the load when lights etc are all on together. it needs upgrading, all the info is here on the site you just need to look for it. search Shazaams posts he knows the lot. Oh and if you need a new rectifier regulator I have a brand new one for sale you can have it at what it cost me plus the postage here
