Most manufacturers follow the standad of black with a red stripe. Just be cautious, as not all do

Thanks for all the help yesterday guys, I got home fine!

I measured the battery when I got home without the bike running and it read 12.29V, I charged the battery at work yesterday to 13.8V so can we definately say it was the reg/rec? I did 23miles after leaving work with my headlights on and a speed of about 50-60mph all the way.

Thanks,
Andy

Glad to hear you made it home!

Can't say definately it's the reg/rect, but do a search, there's a thread somewhere on the org that details the voltages that should be coming from the reg/rect. Check it out.

I can say it definately looks like it's the reg/rect, but without a closer look, I wouldn't want to advise you spend your money on a new unit, when we could be barking in the wrong forest. Can't think of what else it could be though.

Checking charge by voltage is pretty ineffective. Best check is to get a voltmeter across the terminals with the bike running and revving, and see what it reads then. Though I can't remember what a good result actually is tbh

that would be about 13 - 15 volts irrc

I'm going to check all the voltages but I've got to wait for the weekend as its raining here and dark by the time I get home so no hope of doing it yet! (I dont have a garage

)

Will do a search to find voltages and pray it is the reg/rec or I'll have to start fault finding!
