check the earth wires

there is a connector under the dash that have most likely came loose.i had changed everything and the only problem was the connection for the dimmer switch. chek and see if the connector came loose hope this works for you as it worked for me. peace

disconnect the carb and do a flush threw

new alternator

personaly id flush the carb by removing the carb including the needle[rev cable]use an old basin,take out your lowest screw releasing petrol tip the carb rotating it ending up in an upside down position petrol will come out of every in n out let,place to its original position using a bicycle pump afix firstly to your petrol inlet slowly pump air down the pump don;t pull the pump to refil remove the pump put in a blow mode an repeat 3 2 4 times,then repeat on your petrol fill pipe an repeat proseadure ,this workted 4 me goodluck

look for 3 wires coming from the stator to the regulator, the same color, these should be the 3 phases of the stator and any pair of these should put out maybee 50v AC, with the bike running.
Also each pair of these should have similar resistance(engine stopped)and none grounded to earth
Then put the volt meter across the battery, it should read somwhere around 14 v DC with the engine running.

No AC -stator problem
Yes AC, No DC- regulator problem
Voltages can vary between makes and models, but hopefully this is the simple explanation

chare the battery back up and get a volt meter, the battery should read 12v or a little higher, when you start the bike the voltage should rise to around 14v, if it doesnt rise it is not charging and the reg or stator needs checking

sir,there are 2 reason
1. please check bolts of small fuse connecter near the battery ,sometimes it get loose ,ectually that is main positive connecter to battery
2.please replug the rectifier-regulater cuplers ,otherwise you need to replace the regulater

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator? Its possible that you have a vacuum leak. This leak will usually be located at the carb to intake manifold or at the manifold to intake valve ports.

i would test the light switch with a meter sounds like it gone open circuit

Hope this helps

Floats are sticking in carbs and staying open which causes fuel to overflow.you can try tapping float bowls with screwdriver handle sometimes this will free up floats .If this dosen't work you have to remove and clean carbs.Good Luck

make sure all the HT leads are in tight and none of them are filled with water from being loose.

A six pin connector should be easy enough to source. Check out suppliers on ebay, you may even source an identical connector off a scrap bike!
Hope that helps.

To find the drain could be very time consuming. If you place an ammeter in line with the battery, then remove fuses as you go and monitor when the drain stops, that will place you in the right area.
I had a similar problem years ago with and old Harley and it turned out to be battery acid spillage over the starter solenoid that was leaking electrically.
Hope you find it soon.

Hi,
Yes that is a good but, this model is still going for $5000 in good condition with that sort of milage.

You will have to check your starter button. It is a two position switch. When you push it in half way the light turns off to commit more battery power to the starter. When it is all the way in it engages the solenoid. It may be dirty or broken and is keeping the head light from working.

They should last a bit longer than 12k, but wear in the guides can also make then rattle a litttle sooner. Sometimes the tensioner can wear premiturely
The bad news, the more it rattles, the more chance of damage, On some bikes I have seen the cam chain rattle through the side of the barrell until it leaves a hole and leaks oil, If the chain breaks, the pistons usually bend most of the valves.
Basic mechanical knowledge is also going to need the help of a manual. or at least mark the cams and take a few photos to reset the valve timing, or you next problem will be like many requests on this site"how do I set the valve timing"

Too much or not enough. To get back to a run setting you could turn in the screws all the way then out 1 1/2 turns each, this should put you in run mode, Start with the idle or slow speed jet, make sure it idles ok, stays running, then try to rev it up, if it cuts out, it is starving, open it up 1/4 turn, try it again, etc, till it gets better, or good. If it doesn't get better, it may be a timing problem, like the engine is firing long before the valves open to let out the exhaust, does it have a dist? Is it a power band thing you are not used to the bike? I tried a couple bikes like that and I couldn't get them to go, they were like a sponge, or a marshmallo, just doesn't go, My Ducati, you hit the gas, you better be hanging on, cause you are going!! It doesn't matter what gear,what speed, it is all power. Check it out, hope this helps.

You can do a free download of a factory service manual at the site below. This should give you the needed information along with photos. Please rate my help. Thanks.
