So, situation now is I have a reg/rec coming thanks to the lawman!

Now I know the battery is gone and been looking at old posts but wanted to check if the one I need is YTX9-BS, found a yuasa on eBay for £37.45 delivered.

Does that sound that about right?

Yep! sounds like a Yuasa. I had same issues and bought and fitted a Reg/rec off a blade. Nice 14.something volts at any revs now, including idle.

Cheers, will order today and update later this week.

Battery problems now sorted!

Something strange happened on the way to work this morning though. Went for my usual detour, 1/2 way through and the petrol light came on blinking really fast (twice as fast as normal) them 1 mile later the bike started to bog down then light went solid & it stopped. I was about 1 1/2 miles from work with a big hill in between us!! Left the bike on the side stand as I contemplated pushing it up the hill. Tried to start it and it caught so I quickly went off managed to get to 60 up the hill (it was very boggy like firing on 1 cylinder). when it cut I just made it up the hill.

Does it sound like I ran out of petrol (checked the tank and not much is there!

Also ido you think there a problem with the petrol light.

Thanks

p.s. last part into work goes down hill but when I tried to hop on my leg got caught & dropped it. Smashing the right (as you sit on it) front light!! Agh! MOT next week, if I Borge it together would it pass?

Loose battery terminals?

Will check these at lunch time

Ok, quick check and everything's connected ok. Wife's coming by after work with petrol so hopefully it starts..

Well, amazing thing petrol..... Bike started straight away!

Still a bit worried about the time it took to warn me before cutting out though. Will keep a eye on this in the next few weeks.
