Wessie34 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The steering lock looks good and intact but I have no key ! Is it somehow possible to buy a key or replace the lock itself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted October 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2015 rectifier diode shorted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessie34 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Rectifier diode eh ? Not sure where it is but there's a silver case with fins on and one wire to it but it wasn't earthed when I bought the bike ( it was mounted onto a plastic bracket! ) so I mounted onto a good earthed bracket and assumed voltage rectifier ? Anyway, I guess it's a rect diode, I'll get the Haynes out this weekend and check it. If it's faulty does it just let the volts rise and therefore blow the fuse? I haven't checked running voltage yet as I thought it was a wiring issue. Thanks for the tip, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted October 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2015 the thing with fins is a 6v ac regulator,the diode rectifier is mounted under the fuel tank towards the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy10bikes Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There is a way of picking the lock, done this a few times on my XT frames, ones the lock is out there is a key number on the top flat sectionthat corresponds with the key number you need.
