Hi all, had a bit of a strange one off fault on Sunday and just wondered if anyone else had experienced it.
Stopped for fuel and when I went to restart I noticed that the battery warning light was not on. No problem, I only live a few hundred meters away so rode home.
Stopped it and again no battery warning light, all others fine.
Started and checked output and no output from alternator.
Put it away and whent to get my bike gear off.
Came back to it, switched on, and battery light now on!
Started it and now have 13.5 ish volts at idle, so all seems good.
I have checked various plugs and connections, everything is tight, manipulated all the headstock wiring, and just can't get it to happen again.
I'm thinking that for some reason it lost the 12v feed through the warning light to the alternator, therefore no output.
I hate having a undiagnosed problem on the bike, and off on a long ride in a few weeks so its niggling my mind.
So has anyone experienced similar or got and sujestons?
