  1. Hi all, An update (hopefully the last!). After checking/cleaning/adding the earths, replacing the battery and reg/recti it left me with the stator. Opened up the housing and it was fried. I sent it off to be refurbished (it was cheaper than buying a new one, and used ones were nearly as expensive) and as of today it seems to be okay. It has been a rather painful experience but hopefully has now come to end. At least I know the rest of the bike has all new electrical components now Thanks for all your help.
  2. Good morning all, another update (regretfully, another poor one). I've now changed the reg/rec and it seemed to work for a day or two. Riding home last night, however, dead. The battery was fully charged prior to riding it on Tuesday morning. It got me to work and back okay, started alright yesterday morning, then yesterday evening it struggled to start then died at idle. I've now checked the earths, replaced the battery and replaced the reg/rec. This leaves me to believe it has to be the stator/alternator? All lights are standard, i.e. not after market LEDs, and I've checked all the fuses. This was meant as a cheap work run around and it's becoming a timely, costly and frustrating exercise! Any other advice before I throw it into the garage before I throw myself into something? Thank you once again.
  3. Just a quick update as I said I'd drop back in. Checked all of the existing earths and put an extra one leading back to the engine casing with some proper earthing wire and clips and same happened re: the battery dying. Leaves me to think it's the reg/recti. It seems to be a common fault reading up online on this particular model. Fingers crossed that sorts it otherwise I would assume it'll be the stator/alternator. Hopefully not as they can get a bit pricey! Thanks again for the assistance. I'll report back.
  4. Hi both, Thank you for your replies. I tried charging the battery and the same happened. Took it out for a quick spin, could feel it getting lumpy as I was standstill. Back home after about 15 minutes, died as I pulled up. Tried to start it again - nothing. No charge getting back to the battery so I'm going to test the earthing theory tonight. Failing that will do some digging for the PDF though a Haynes manual might not be a bad idea anyway. Other than that will do as you say re: the multi meter. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks again for the assistance. P.S. I'll double the £2 and get some Scrumpy Jack I think if I'm going down that route. There's only room for one Jack in my life and it's not Frosty! Ha ha.
  5. Good morning all, Thank you very much for all your help. The indicator relay was indeed behind the speedo. It was a 2 pin relay. I'd already ordered a replacement for the grand sum of £1.99 so I swapped it over. It has fixed the flashing issue. They are standard bulbs, not LED. I also installed a new battery as I had assumed the old one was dead (it'd been sat in a garage for 12 months prior to my buying it. It wasn't holding a charge). After riding it for ten minutes it died on me again. I'm assuming it'll either be a) a dodgy earth and the charge isn't getting back to the battery, b) reg rectifier or c) alternator. I'm hoping it's option a as b and c are going to render my cheap little run around not so cheap. Thanks again for your assistance.
  6. Hi all, First time poster. Have just bought a CBR 125 2011 model as a cheap run around. Got it through the MOT on Monday and one of the advisory items was indicators flashing too fast. I've bought a new flasher unit/indicator relay. Does anyone know the location of it on this model? I've heard conflicting stories of it being behind the rear fairing and behind the speedo unit. Would like to be certain before I start taking bits off. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
