Morillo

He’s aliveeeeeee been off line for a while due to work but the bike is now up and running after he went poorly sick Loving the weather and using the bike everyday for work and getting out on the weekend for a quick flirt around

Thanks Mike I’ll give it a look

Hello all. Had the bike checked over and had a rewire into the rectifier regulator but it’s seems that the regulator is fubared. Was hoping t was just the wire but hey ho. Can anyone recommend anywhere to buy a decent reliable rectifier regulator from, there’s such a difference in prices I don’t want to buy a cheap unreliable part then have to pay out again in 12 months Thanks

?

Hopefully sorted ? He’s going to do a rewire then reconnect the unit and see what’s occurring thank again drewp

Not responded as I was called into work so apologies on my behalf, I didn’t read your message until late last and was going to reply this morning but was called in to work to cover sickness. That was a very kind and generous offer by the way. The mechanic I’ve used in the past managed to call this afternoon on his was home and he’s had a quick look and said it’s the ‘rectifier’ I ain’t a clue but he shown me it when he removed it from under the tank. Hr said that it’s a newish unit but when the old one broke they didn’t check the wiring connector to the unit and he shown me that 2 of the connectors that had previous burnt plastic on them had not been swapped hence causing the new unit to not connect fully causing a loose connection that’s causing it to misfire and for the bike to be only running on it’s battery and that’s why it lost all power Thanks again and please don’t think I was being ignorant and not getting back to you Drewp ??

Drewpy ?? Its a YZF600R Thundercat 2003 ta

Top man thanks for the ideas I’m in Warrington and I’ll have a look tomorrow thanks again boss

Thanks for the replies. all fuses present and correct non blown and no visible black scorch marks nothing Plug leads maybe ? I'm stuck as nothing visible so plugs leads at the weekend and the battery is now on trickle charge, battery was fully charged as I had it charging before he had a melt down so something has flattened it Theres a mobile bike mechanic who I’ve used in the past but he’s booked up till June now ?? Thanks

Thanks Jimmy ill have a look on Saturday. No rain just a nice dry night, it was just the engine that went to sleep so still had lights. i tried to start the bike but it was as if it had a flat battery and wouldn’t even attempt a turn for the ignition. I’m guessing its fairings off to get and plugs and leads thanks

Afternoon all. Well I think I broken it Hopefully something and nothing but as I was coming home at 23:00 down the M56 last night the boy didn’t sound to be fully on song and I noticed that the lights slightly flickering on the dash then I saw 2 or 3 white flashes near my right knee and that was it he decided to have a sleep I was in lane 3 and was passing a couple of cars so I backed off a tad to fall behind the cars then i coasted across to a slip road with no hard shoulder and parked it in the widest part which was about twice the width of the bike and sat on the barriers and called recovery , got it home but I haven’t got a clue where to start. im guessing it’ll be plugs at the least and maybe leads so any ideas  thanks

So also thinking of getting my hands on some luggage for my bike, had Givi top box on my xjr1300sp thinking of the same for my bike and wondered what others are using really. i likes the top box as my daughters used to lean against it on rides out Ta

Tommy Xs ??

Evening Getting a new chain and sprocket this week so just wanted to know if there’s any specifics in regards to what size sprockets to go for or shall I just go for a standard setting if I did change amount of teeth of either sprockets is there any benefits or downsides ???

Yeah it’s fitting the buggers I’d struggle with ? Left handed chimp springs to mind with my DIY skills ?

Afternoon all new owner weekend just gone by, got myself a YZF600 2003 Had plenty of bikes over the years then had a spell away for about 5 yrs then got back into it this weekend with the 600. Last bike was a XJR1300sp so wanted to stay with the yamahas again really. New (to me) bike needs a good wash n wax hopefully this weekend but firstly it’s going into the shop for a new chain a sprocket and also to have the choke looked at / repaired. It doesn’t make any difference to the idol tick over no matter where the choke lever is so I guess it’s a snapped cable hopefully that’s all it is ? Im from Warrington cheshire by the way

Afternoon all long time bike owner but a new FZR600 owner picked the bike up yesterday and I think that the choke cable has snapped, makes no difference to the idle tick over if the choke lever is in any position. is this an easy fix or ?? thanks for any help and info profile will be updated and pic included when I get to work out how to do it ?
