paul in dorset

hi,got my new reg today.28 quid including post and packaging.arrived next day ,just changed it and will put battery on later when fully charged.on removal the bottom of regulator had break in theresin which encapsulates the components,dug it out a bit and all solder inside had melted,so looking promising .cheers paul.

thanks mervin,with engine running at idle 16volts at battery which is too high in my opinion anyway battery is new.will look up that guy on ebay and get one i think.

hello to all,have just recently joined this site and have a problem on my bike,its a 95 import xt6ooe and the battery discharges itself over a day or two.it is a new battery of the correct type and when ignition is off the neutral light goes off and nothing works.i have checked the coils in the generator and they have a resistance of .3 ohm which is a little low but my meters lowest setting is 200 ohm so its close enough i hope.is there a possibility of the rectifier/regulator going to ground as that looks like the only component that is fed from the battery when ignition is off.thanks paul.
