Title: Broken 'down'town again.
Post by: kneeslider on February 06, 2018, 11:11:21 AM: So yeah. Here I am again stuck on the side of the road, lucky managed to reach a petrol station.

Riding home, the bike hesitated with the engine and battery light appearing for a split second, then she came back to life.

Stopped at the petrol station, shut her down and tried to restart. Cranking was weak and it wasn't able to start. No battery low light.

Waiting now for the tow truck.

Charging system failure, or bad battery?
Good luck.

Their diagnosis is that the starter had eaten the dust. Doesn't explain why she was cutting out while riding.

Regulator is fine.
Also the magneto was replaced about 3 months back.
