Ha yeah, I already feel extremely connected, mainly through the now rather large, hole in my bank account but hell will all be worth it once its done. Aye sounds like a similar problem ABxv535, will be changing the battery but the reg looks pretty shagged so I'ma get that changed too. Cheers for the welcome all!

Hi all, names Swagga and I picked up a 1997 Dragstar 650 the other week and I got totally ripped off, bloke assured me it was ready for MOT but I needed it before he could do it so I got him to knock off £50 and I'd take it off his hands.. Little did I know till I got it back and looked her over, it needed.... New indicators Chopped rear hugger needed reinforcing Completely new wiring loom Brake lights needed repairing New No. plate bracket was made New front inidcator brackets had to be made Front mudguard fixed and fitted A broken petrol cap removed (in bits) from inside the tank Front brake pads replaced New front tyre Headlamp needed fixing Engine L.E.D.s were falling off so removed And that was just the main things that needed doing for MOT.. anyway, after 2 days and one sleepless night she was ready and I got her through MOT. Now the blasted thing isn't keeping charge. It will be fine for 50 miles and then it'll die without word of warning. She will bump fine and idle but as soon as she pulls away in gear she dies again. So I am guessing Regulator or Battery or both?? Apart from ebay, anyone got any good sites or numbers for cheap parts?? However, apart from that she is a great bike with a load of potential to be better. Once she is done I'll try get some pics up. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!! Swagga
