Subject: Electrical problems, any ideas anyone?


Goodmorning to everyone

I have a question for you, related to my RD07 94-95 @.

Lately, she behaves very badly. It fails charging the battery (usually when
hot) and very often will
not turn the starting motor. It will though start with a jump start.
Mechanics (Motorcycle City) said it is
the regulator rectifier which fails to charge the battery when hot. Funny
thing is because my @ is
japanese specs, the UK part will not fit so I have to wait another 2 weeks
for the part to come from
japan ...: (((

Anyway, last night she did something very strange. While was going at a
speed of about 60km/h,
it started losing power, like when you are out of petrol and you have to
switch the reserve. Which I
did, but nothiong happened, the bike kept losing power and I have noticed I
had no headlight beam,
indicators were not working, no lights in the panel. In short, no current
at all. The bike kept caughing
until she finally stopped completely, so I had to push her back home.

Does anybody make sense of this? Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
George
