Grouch Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've recently had a few electrical related problems with the bike. Firstly the indicator switch stopped working. I put it down to wear and tear and managed to find a cheap second hand one on ebay. After a few months it's starting to do the same and packing in. Probably not related but I don't know. Secondly the bike never had any juice in the battery in a morning so I was having to bump it. I thought it's a 3 year old battery and got a new one. It was fine for a month or so and now it's starting to do the same thing but sometimes it will start on the electric start no problem. I thought it may be the regulator so I have ordered a new one. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Edit: Could be the alternator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 You need to test the voltage at the battery with the engine running. Have you got a tester? Indicator switch probably just has some corrosion in it Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yes I have one but I don't know how to use it. I'm not sure what setting it's meant to be on. I'll google it and check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Cheers. It's been raining, sleeting and snowing for the past few days so I haven't had chance to have a look. I need to fit a new clutch cable so I will have to do it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
