WTF?
WTF?
So, I'm currently writing this from a Big Daddy's BBQ in Wylie. When I tried to start my bike this afternoon it would turn over but it wasn't starting. So I just decided to push start it and the bike runs fine.. Then on my way home it dies right next to the parking lot. Now it won't even push start. What the hell is wrong with it? Did my bike decide this is where I'm having lunch??

Re: WTF?
Probably regulator/rectifier, it regulates the charging system. Sometimes it goes out and stops charging the battery.

Re: WTF?
Reg/rect or stator. The bike will run off the battery after the battery is low enough that it wont start the bike.... but it will get drained to the point of stalling and then not working at all. Charge the batter then check your voltage returning to the battery after it is started. Probably not gonna have any..... then just track it back and see if the stator is putting out the voltage before it gets to the Reg/rect and you will know which one it is.
