My battery is not taking charge whilst riding, the battery is fairly new. Could it be the rectifier? Or what else could it be?
Thanks Matt

Re: Flat battery
yes it certainly could be the rect/reg
Could also be a fault in the wiring between the rect/reg and the genny
Could even be a dodgy battery depends on how it has been looked after even if it is newish

Re: Flat battery
As Cargo implies, it could be absolutely anything. The only way to trace electrical faults is with a multimeter and a methodical check all the way through the relevant circuit. A scattergun approach is a waste of time and money. Multimeters are a few quid then off you go. Once you've eliminated what it isn't then you're getting somewhere.

Re: Flat battery
as both have said already it could be anything.
imo, its likely to be the reg rec, happened to me last year, it was also the reason why i had troubles starting the bike when hot.
