I have a problem, can anyone help. My new track bike...

Starts fine, charge rate is at 13.5 - 14 volts.

This voltage then progressivley gets higher until about 17.5 - 18 volts, and the bike then cuts out (this is normally about 5 - 10 minutes of running).

Have changed the regulator/rectifyer but this hasn't helped.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance of any help.

Si

isn't your alternator/generator whatever they call it on a bike shagged when it does this?

I'd have thought when you're alternator was shagged it won't be putting out enough charge (like mine), and I'd be looking at a reg/rec problem!

Is it possible the new unit is faulty too?

Also, I've heard quite a few people saying that it's best to change the alternator AND the reg/rec unit if one goes, because the faulty part can kill the new part when you replace it.

I got lucky with mine and the reg/rec seemed fine - but then I was having the opposite problem to yours...

it sounds more like the regulator is at fault as there is nothing controlling the charge rate from the alternator was it new or second hand

thanks for everyones help and advice , i've spent the day going back over all the wiring and retesting components and it seems to be charging and running ok now !!
not sure what i done , lets hope all ok

did that to me with my bike when i wudn't start started checkings was bout to give up left it over nite the next day is started and has run perfect ever since
