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
