Comatose daytona

After having a fun day at Brands in the wet yesterday with no issues, I am, today a tad peeved. Popped out for a ride after cleaning the bike, fine, but then didn't have a lot of life when firing her up for the trip home and enroute lost all the display including speedo whilst in a 30 so not being a complete knob switched off the lights. Hey presto speedo alive. Got home, two scuffed knuckles (they do bleed a lot for a tiny injury) and a burned finger later, the battery is dead, and a red hot regulator/rectifier. By the way the battery is a nice new Varta. Would I be right in thinking the regulator/rectifier should be my first point of attack.

 

They do heat up a bit in use, but shouldn't be red hot no. I'd try and get hold of a known working one (they're pretty much the same on every bike ever!) and try that.
In short, yes.

 

Thanks for the confirmation Dave, I was, before feeling the heat, hoping water had got in somewhere yesterday.

 

I got a spare one for a 98 Fireblade, but I doubt it would fit your bike. Can you post pix of your R/R plug/socket.?

 

To save shrinking the bloody things.

Here's my Blade one mate, Five flat contacts.

And the shape, it needs good contact with the metal subframe.


Completely different then. eBay or breakers then?

 

Flea bay it is then, many options available £200 £100 or given the state of my finances at the moment £50. Oh and some more bloody tiny tools why is every thing on the outside HEX and the important ones on the inside STAR????????
