flat battery x2 advice please
i have had my bike for about 2 weeks. when i got the bloke said it could do with a new battery, so i got one. 1 week later and only 10miles flat battery, so i take it to my local bike shop he said the battry is not charging so charges battery fits a rectifier great then about 10 days 200 miles later guess what, flat battry so bike is in shop now havin battery charged
i fitted indecaters about 1 hour b4 this happehed &was told (by an electrition) that it dosent matter which way u wire them |
Do a search, but its almost certain you've fallen foul of the SV achilies (sp) heel and your rectifier/regulator died.
A certain Mr Squid has done a good write up on the identificatin & solution a number of times On my bike I also fitted a battery monitior so that I can see the problem before I'm left stranded Good Luck |
maybe......but the garage took off my rectefier and put an other 1 on which he had lying aroud so mybe the 2nd rectifier was faulty aswell, so do i buy a 3rd rectifer £25 ebay as it could be somthing else.
BUT the indecaters have got me thinking .......... suzuki wires are black.........black & white the indecaters were red.........yellow would it matter ifi did some yell to blk & the other yell to b&w ............................................red to b& w .....red to blk :( :( :( :help: :? :? :? |
Sounds like your regulator / rectifier has gone. or the 2nd one your garage blokey put on is as f*cked as your first one was.
Personally I wouldnt bother with ebay, I know it sounds cheaper but how do you know that the one you are buying is working. Bite the bullet and buy a new one... do a search as suggestion this has come up loads of times, theres a thread somewhere from Sid Squid that advises how to check if the bikes charging properly. I doubt its the indicators that are causing your problem. Mind you it might be worth getting the wiring checked by somebody who does know what they are doing. |
any idea how much a new rectifier would cost... i think i will get a new one. £50 in breakers
|
Not sure I had mine replaced last year, I think it was around the £90 area but I cant honestly remember.
|
i just did a search & i got £90 but it didnt say if it was new/used
|
Sounds about right for a new one.
Best way to check is to ring your nearest Suzuki dealer and get a price. IIRC some Honda reg's fit but I'm not sure which... again try a search and see what it turns up. |
£90 is right for a new Suzuki part. Have heard you can get patterns for around £70 but don't ask me where.
Unfortunatly the reg/ rec is s**t on the curvy SV, mine went after eating 2 batteries, got one from 21Quest and have been happy since (touching alot of wood :lol: ) Still have the duff one knocking around if you want it... |
i think i got 2 duff ones why on earth would i want another(ill give you £50 for it) wheres 21 quest
