It seems like my electrical woes are not resolved.

About 20 miles into a ride today the fuel light started flashing despite the tank being half full. This is what happened a few minutes before the bike died the first time. I switched off the lights and thought I'll make a run for home. Bike ran perfectly with no lights, so I stopped on the way through Welshpool and then tried restarting the bike. Enough juice for dash lights but not enough to turn the engine over. Bumped it and it started readily, so straight back home with the lights off. Stopped the engine at home, then tried restarting it and it fired up - twice.

It's obviously getting some power to keep it running. Question is, is it the reg/rec or the alternator.

I need to test both to find out.

I hate electrics. Anyone close by have a better understanding than me, and fancy coming over and guiding me through the diagnostic process?
