Ducati 916 \'97 battery light on???
Hi, Newbie here...have read all the other posts on this subject...but mine is a little different, so here goes!!..
Went out for a spin, goin great, then noticed that the battery light was on when i stopped at a traffic light on tick over...a few revs (just over 2000rmp) it went out?..er ok!, i stopped...had a quick look...but nothing in ya face if you know what i mean.
So, get it home i thought, but..in true Danny style, i stalled it!...and hey guess what, no way she was guna go again, battery totally dead...lucky i was near a hill (so glad as i have bad asthma and would have been curtains for me to push it!! ).. a bump start got me goin and home i got!!
Unlike other posts it did not cough or splutter at all...just rode home ok, ( about 10 miles )...stopped it, and deff no go again...so here i looked for possible causes...read loads of great posts on similar subjects/causes but nothing exactly the same...So..
Have checked all plastic plugs, wires for heat damage, everything listed on the most helpfull posts i have ever read!...found nothing wrong?...so i think it must be the reg/rec? i have checked and by viewing a pic on another post here it is the old unit i have... the only thing is reading all the other posts here its just not the same as my " battery light on at idle and then goin out again over 2000rpm " style... so any idea's or help would be great before i order a new one, and i guess the best place to get one from is Electrex?, any one had the same?...many thanks for your time reading this....Danny.
