Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Could be Craig. I'm in the process of packaging it up to send back. I assume they'll test it under load so I should know in a few days.

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Over the years I've seen posts on other M/C forums about ,"Electrex " Q/C :/
I'm sill running a <10 quid Ceramic Mosfet R/R on my 99. Been on there around 3 years now. Have a read here as I hate Electrical block connectors in M/C charging systems. https://straticus.epizy.com/MosfetUniRR.html?i=1 and for the cheapy, https://straticus.epizy.com/AlternateMotorcycleRR.html Also the cheap Powerline Battery is still going strong after 3 years.

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Reg/rec is back with Electrex World now, so I'm just waiting to hear from them. Hoping to have a working item back asap so I can put the bike back on the road!

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
I would not be in too much of a hurry - unless you like riding in the wet!

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Indeed RT, it's not the best July weather I've seen. Still, it will be good to have the bike running again.

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Just had an email from Electrex World telling me that they had finished testing my reg/rec, and would I like a refund or replacement.
Replacement please!

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Good that they've got to the bottom of it, and decent customer service too.

Re: Broken down with a dead battery
Reg/rec now fitted and working. 14.5v with no load, 14.17 with the headlights on. What a difference it's made. No more lumpy, erratic running at low rpm and it ticks over evenly. I had thought the rough running at the lower rev range was down to worn carbs after 106,000 miles, but it appears the problem was the reg/rec. I have a suspicion the one I fitted last October was faulty from the start.
Took the old girl out for a test ride of about 50 miles this evening (as one does) and it's a joy to ride again.

Glad you got it sorted
