I'm guessing the Regulator/Rectifier is duff?
Had power failure on Friday, everything cut out on the way home from work.That was around 6pm.Logged my breakdown with RAC, who still never arrived or even gave me a time by 1am Somehow got it started and ticking over, but running rough, and with my neighbour following in a car I somehow limped the bike home. Once outside my house THEN the RAC driver calls. I was so cold and pissed off I never actually asked him how long he would've been, but it's probably best I don't actually know. Put battery on charge immediately but there was no power going to the battery at all with the engine running/revving, so I'm guessing the Regulator/Rectifier is duff?

On fitting the replacement I noticed that when I plugged the connectors back together they pushed in about 3mm further, so there is a chance it wasn't fully pushed in before and may have caused an arc. All working now though, and battery showing 14 volts when ticking over. RAC want to speak to me later on, that should be interesting!
I had tried beeswax and also ACF50 when I stored the bike at the end of least year so despite being careful to keep it clear of the brakes I must have managed to contaminate them.
