Read your posts this morning and was thinking, well my bird is on 35000klms the retifier is due to go soon.
Go for ride and what happens, gauges stop working then a minute later the bike cuts out.
Hit the starter and nothing, the headlights are very dim etc, there some bike shops about a mile away so I start pushing get to the Honda dealer he checks the battery and it's got 2 volts say's it's the retifier$$$
Sold the last one one Thursday he tells me so flogs me a new battery AU$115 :shock: starts the bike and every thing work but theres no charge going to the battery.
Anyway it got me home and as normal I have bend over and take up the backside and pay AU$400 for retifier.
