Had an electrical issue with my bike, a 2000 cb500, battery was either not being charged or being drained, took it to a garage and he checked it over and said there was a connector plug at the reg/rec that there was a problem with and he cleaned it out, he said it could be doing with a new connector but apparently they're really hard to get a hold of.. Anyway, before the bike went to the garage it had fried the reg/rec so I replaced it and the battery and it fried the other reg/rec.. The guy at the garage said there was high resistance at this connector he has cleaned and reckons this could be what is causing the reg/recs to fry. Does this sound like it could cause it to fry? I've heard people say the Honda reg/recs are crap and to fit one from a different bike but how would I go about this? Also, on my way home from picking the bike up today (new front pads were fitted), I came to a corner and pulled the front brake and the lever wouldn't pull in, pulled a few more times and the brake went on and seized on solid. After leaving it for 10 mins and a bit of rocking back and forward it freed and I rode it home without using the front brake. Is my calliper knackered or is there something I could try to fix it? Sorry about the story, pretty new to bikes and don't have a clue when it comes to fixing them! Cheers in advance.
