Could anyone tell me if a faulty regulator rectifier would cause the wiring loom to melt from the negative lead on battery. I have a 2000 curvy that has had a problem starting for a while so this weekend I decided to get to the bottom of it, I found a melted wire from the generator it was the negative wire so I replaced it charged the battery and started the bike I have the seat off so I can see what's going on and with the engine running the negative lead off the battery is smouldering so I've turned the bike off. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
