Locking P.M's would give the game away wouldn't it and then you'd suss that any P.M. with a subject heading is readable .

Actually, the entire fcuking database is Readable - and Writeable, hence the massive amount of SPAMMERS on here

Thanks Great post

when i check the sator coils get 2 reads the same and one off the scale

Reg Rec may be ok but as said above good to carry a spare

and jaws is the place to buy

Thanks from a new member!

Very simple and logical process (even for a electro-phobe!), and I'll give these tests a go.

My issue is a discharging battery when being caught in stop-start traffic for a period of time (worse at night, with headlights on). I've read that the stator does not put out much voltage at tickover / low revs which may explain why the bettery is having to meet the demands of the headlights / fan / heated grips etc. I always leave the bike on charge when not riding, and it's never fully charged when I come back from a ride, even a long one.

Assuming the stator can't keep up, if I rode long enough in slow traffic, would the battery run down far enough for a loss of spark at the plugs?

Regards,

Max.
