Posted February 10, 20178 yr 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?
February 10, 20178 yr 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
February 10, 20178 yr Author 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.
February 10, 20178 yr You want it on volts DC. There'll be something on youtube Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
February 11, 20178 yr Author 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.
