Thank Fazian... me too haha
Changing the Stator is one of them jobs thats been on the to do list for a while but with its being preventative instead of an upgrade it always gets moved down haha horrible spending that sort of Money on something that won't make the blindest bit of difference.... until it does ?
Well I've just had my multimeter out and been doing some investigation bit I have to say electronics are not my strong point but this is what I've come up with
Tried jumping it off an old car battery but couldn't even get the starter to engage or click.
Tested the battery and it was only holding 11.8V so that's gone on charge.
Took the rectifier off and tested that, getting a constant reading (5.7ish) across all 3 positive points, so guessing that's OK?
Tested the connector coming from the stator and that had a positive reading so should be good?
Checked all accessible fuses and all OK except the external charger one (which would explain why the trickle charger hasn't been doing anything)
After plugging everything back in the starter now engages and attempts one short sharp turn before the whole bike dies then reboots itself (as with a dead battery) so I'm optimistic its the battery thats finally given the up (was only £30 4 years ago haha)
I will give that a few hours on charge and see whats what.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions for me to try in the meantime?
