Yes I bought one from NadineDieBiene as she had bought a new one when her alternatior packed up thinking it was the reg/rec. £25 quid to you, or a brand new pattern one that cost 70 quid. £45 to you, plus postage on either. Any good? Was that what was wrong with your bike then Keith?

Hmm - we'll see!

Haha just read through the Ducatisistifistifeefifum forum and mentioned a 848 convert. I think that is both myself and Smeggons. Love that bike. Long way off for me though Maybe a year haha

Me too - these clothes I'm wearing keep me nice and toastie in my car!

Sounds like you had a goodun. Swines. It would be nice to see EAR not go into complete and utter hibernation - if there's a rest point on a ride that close enough then I'd be up for popping out for a cuppa.

Sounds like you need to arrange a cuppa/natter meet then K and we will all have our own rideouts to get there - well volunteered

I think Kerri will be wanting her own bike by then, in that case. Tried sitting on an 848...............it is NOT designed for pillions, that's for sure. Give Kerri your SV

[Mr Speirs]

Yeah the pillion seat does look a little sparse
mmm Lissa might be onto something there.

Cheers Pete,

Give me a couple of days to go through the usual checks to make sure it's not something simple like a loose conection and to check my voltages.

Just stuck a meter on my bike.....getting 13.5v on tick over which rises to 14v at high revs.

With everything off I checked the positive termainal to the swingarm pivot....this is showing little resitance....so me thinks I've got a dodgy wire somewhere.

Dunno if that's good or bad news Keith.

Finding a dodgy connection could be time consuming and frustrating. Think I'd have preferred to just change the reg/rec.

Thought you should be getting a bit more charge when it's revving. 15.5 or summit.

Good luck.
