I wouldnt like to commit myself to a yes!! as you have only tested it at stationary and not over a period of time! did you check the old reg/rec? I would also check the input voltage to the reg/rec too put the volt meter on AC across the 3 wires from the stator obviously you can only test across two wires at a time so you have to do varying combinations you are looking for around 70V ac more could cause the reg/rec to overheat and blow I'll check that then. I didn't check the old reg/rec. Would have done, if the old battery worked, but it was properly goosed, I didn't want to hook it up to the new battery. There's a large 3 pin block connecter under the tank. Would I be able to just test it on the pins on that? Will it run without the reg/rec hooked up. There's that, an earth and a little two pin block connecter. That's all the wires that were on it.

I'm only off from Friday, but a works curry has been planned on the Thursday night, so Friday may be a write off I'll be good for any other days though, let us know later in the week if you've sorted the bike out.

would it be a computer shop I'd be looking at for stocking this?

So it should be alright? I fell lucky, it must have been overcharging for a while, I took my Mrs to Haworth for her birthday last Sunday, we thought Yorkshire had an eggy smell, until we realised it was following us. Luckily I was near home by the time I realised and managed to limp home at low revs, but when I got it home and let the battery cool I went to start it to check the voltage and it was goosed, wouldn't turn over. I'll be out a fair bit over Easter and don't fancy getting stranded if I haven't cured it.

Cheers. Will it come down at all? Does seem a bit close to the limit, and the reg is situated right above the exhaust. Do they become less efficient as they get hot?

Is 14.65v when revving high a bit much? I boiled a battery last week. Swollen and hissing after a long ride, so I've replaced the reg/rec and new battery and that's what I'm getting on the multimeter

Anyone up for arranging a ride out? I'm off Friday till Monday, so I'll be up for anything on any of these days.

https://goo.gl/maps/JEaiekYv3G82 Thats to the point we split today pal. It was a decent ride spoilt a bit by that bellend in the polo coming out of lancaster, but deffo up for riding more not on my jack this year, always makes it more fun playing out when theres someone else along for the ride

Bolton is not far away at all. If you want we can use the Poplar services as a meet up point as the M56 goes into Wales. I know some good roads in and around Menai but other than that I need showing the way so would be up for a north wales jaunt at some point! Going to do Devils bridge and hawes tomorrow if you or anyone else fancy it.

See it as an investment. You don't get cheap good wooden flooring. I've been a floor layer since I was 17. Don't go to b&q for wooden flooring. Have a look at haro. They're shit hot, I've never put down one that looks bad. Listone wood is incredible but you'll pay through the arse for it. Stick it down rather than float it. Undercut the doors, take off your skirts. It's more work, but there's nothing worse than a solid floor ruined by shitty looking scotia.

I'm also up that way, I tend to avoid Derbyshire though, last time I went there was 4 or 5 camera vans in about an hour and a half. I tend to head up the lakes, and north Wales but I'll come happily come for a blast wherever if there's a few out.

400 miles on Friday with one of them richa typhoon oversuits. Didn't let a drop in. Ride recommended and £40. I'd love to know at what point they don't become waterproof, because it held up well for 8 hours. It only stopped raining when I hit the m62 on the way home. -

If presents from yourself count, the best was a custom graphics kit for the bike made by crispy designs. Worst. Lynx Africa shower gel/spray combo
