Haha forgot my password I've been awaiting a new one which has been in the spam folder for days ... Going to try tomorrow resetting pulley cables , cleaning connections etc sorry for delay been working none stop!!!

I thought I was on the wrong setting but I turned the dial to Volts and on the setting 20 , it was reading 2.78 or something until I noticed the number 1 flickering next to it and when I pushed the dial inwards the number 1 would show giving a new reading of 12.78.... Must be a faulty connection haha Still haven't had a chance to clean connections etc work / weather getting in the way !!!

Right will do that ASAP , the wiring loom is a complete mess Il take a pic so you know what I'm dealing with, when you say battery to solenoid switches... can they be pulled apart and cleaned ??? Also clean everything connecting to power valve servo or clean literally every connection?? IL clean with WD40 and a toothbrush...

Yeah turns out it's about 12.8v , the multimeter is cheap and wasn't displaying the digits properly..., Hmmm so it's not the battery that's the problem then, what a bigger.. Il try it with engine running tomorrow to look for 14+ volt Not sure where to look next as I was counting on the battery being the issue , any ideas where to check next? Checked it on a car battery and it was also reading 12.7v

Right the multimeter arrived today! After reading another post about them I set the multimeter to the setting immediately above what I was expecting to get ( so 20v as I was expecting around 12v) My battery is coming in at 2.93 so I assume that it is pretty much as flat as you can get?? Providing I got the multimeter settings correct???

Cheers again lads, well this morning I woke up to an almighty crash , looked outside and the wind had blown my bike over!!!! It was up against my back door wall with the stand facing outwards and the guests were so strong it's blown over the stand side smashing with left fairing to bits and bending my gear selector inwards ! F****ng fantastic start to the day. Had a small amount of engine oil on the floor which I hope was coming out of an overflow pipe??? There has been no more leaks since I stood her back up again and I've fired her up all seems well just no more damage has been done Needless to say her new home is in the kitchen until this ridiculous weather has settled down, hope everyone else's day started better than mine !

Thanks il have a look , I've got no add-ons , in fact I'm missing and rear indicator haha il be ordering that multimeter on Friday !

Slight bit of confusion , how can a 12v batt produce 14v ????

Rightio :-) not be out today too cold won't stop snowing here in kielder !!!

Cheers lads , I have no rev meter on dt125x however 6-7000 revs is 3/4 throttle approx ??

Battery issue seems to make sense, but i hope that's it lol How do you measure generator output?

Very helpful pal Il buy it ASAP , don't have a clue about electrics or batteries but I know a little more now so thanks lad. What battery would you recommend? are these AMG Batts worth it !! Haha I thought the issue was in my end

Yeah that's what I think the problem is , when I was out earlier I found slipping the clutch helped at low speeds , she seemed to have plenty of oooosh if I was able to stay in the band (mainly in a straight line haha) However I would like to use both ends of the scale bottom end and top end so this problem needs sorted, it's frustrating as there isn't any point in doing anything else until I can check the battery, The question is when I do check the batt should it read 12v? if it's any lower does this mean it needs recharged? Also the batt still has enough power to start the bike so it can't be that low surely??

Sorry internet slow here didn't realise it would multi post :/

It's just a quick fix to get me going I Will be fixing it as I already miss having bottom end power !!! Hopefully it's a battery related issue rather than the PV motor being knakard but if the PV motor was the problem it wouldn't do the self cleaning thing surely? I don't plan on riding it unless absolutely necessary, doing my driving lessons now so hopefully this will be my last winter on a bike It's quite violent when you hit the sweet spot I wish it was like that all the way through the rev cycle
