It cut out, electrics, maybe rectifier...?

Post by Yoshi »

So having got my bike running, took it for a quick spin (20 miles, wasn't stressing it as haven't run it for a few months) and it just suddenly stopped, as if the electrics cut out. When I tried to start it, it would turn over but it made a very weak attempt at starting. I left it for a while and it was stronger after a while, but not enough to start it.

I've been told it could be rectifier? What do you think?

The guy who helped me fix the whole thing (he's really good with bikes) is going to help me test the rec/reg and battery etc. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks,
Matt
