Hello,

I have the luck of pushing my bike home because the battery seems to have died even after giving it a 50 miles run (thank god it didn't die on a motorway).

I went and bought a brand new battery today and fitted it hoping it would work but stupidly I didn't test it after I put it in and it died in the same spot so I had to push it home again.

I called the AA and the guy said there is no electricity going back to the battery when the bike is running and he told me that it could be the generator or something.

Could any of you give me your two cents about what you think the problem could be and how I can test if it is them.

buggered generator or reg/rec.

Where would I purchase a generator or the other parts.

What does it say under this.

My betting is the reg/rectifier, there are tests you can do which have been covered on here

Got my bike out and it started charging.......... I think maybe it shorted or something due to the water which got in it.

So thinking it shorted because I jet washed my bike I give it a little rinse today and suprise surprise it cut out again. I got home straight away luckily and got a charger and voltmeter on it and after it charged for 5 minutes I started the bike and put my voltmeter on and was getting about 13 volts from just the engine so it is actually charging. This is also from a brand new battery I bought 2 days ago, any ideas?
