Hi all, new steamer owner.
Im having a starting problem, i was told the bike had a new battery but the starter seems lazy and if it dosent go first time it wont go at all.
I thought i would check the charging voltage, im getting 14.5v - 15v at tickover and then it goes off the chart when i rev it, even when i have the multimete set on 200v.
This points me to regulator rectifier boiling the battery, but i see the steamer has an odd charging system, more like a car.
Does any one have any experience of this fault. The alt seems quiet.
Im going to the tt soon on the bike and need it reliable
Thanks
Sounds like the regulator is toasted.
