#3Second only.........and another half in engine, forks, rear shock, swingarm, oil tank, radiator, fuel tank, seat unit, rearsets, bars, levers, etc and more odds and sods than I would want to admit to - part of the reason why I went for another 990R rather than 1290R for the moment.

#12Replaced battery only ten days ago - fiver says it's the brown connector.
Post 13 by Sarasota_Steve,
#13Scrub that, it'll be the reg/rec that I should have replaced at same time as battery.

#15Aye, latest OE part seems to be better than superceded OE part, ie one that probably just failed, but best to go with Mosfet replacement - http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catal ... -rectifier
Post 16 by No. 47,
#16Same old stuff - broken reg/rec earth cable at battery eyelet but not sure if that was cause or happened removing reg/rec - so replaced reg/rec with old spare and Mosfet ordered.

#17Good to know it was easy to diagnose and repair.
Did you order the reg/rec from the website you posted? That's a US site right?

#18Aye, good service and fast delivery last time.
Similarly, have asked Joe for another one of these http://www.cycleterminal.com/horn-kits.html twin horn wiring kits in response to his note re not making anymore for a while - Eastern Beaver, another US, albeit ex-pat, electrical go to, has also stopped doing them - anyone know of another source?

#21Voltmeter dropped into red zone again but got home OK - swopped out temporary OE reg/rec for new Mosfet but voltmeter stayed in red zone - turned out to be faulty voltmeter so just goes to show once again, always check the bleeding obvious first.
Post 22 by No. 47,
#22Turns out to be an intermittently failing one year old Mosfet reg/rec, surprising 'cos I'm told (not by supplier) that failure of these is "unheard of" (?) - tried to swop out Mosfet from #1 SDR but found that brown connector to generator was partially burned out - said it before and should have done it, but reg/rec needs to be 'hard wired' to generator, particularly given location on SD/SDR.

#25I swapped back to a standard battery after three years of persevering with a Shorai. Too many times like this! So far a year of blissful starts and trouble free riding.
Post 26 by No. 47,
#26Should also add that I removed the starter relay to clean it up and in doing so broke the fragile exposed thin metal tab connecting the positive screw connector to the 30A fuse holder - not noticed this before but it’s another dumb design aspect of a component in a very exposed and vulnerable position - the translucent plastic cap provides very little protection from water and road crap.
So new battery, reg/rec and starter relay required.........

#28Aye, considered doing something similar a long time ago but not convinced by lithium batteries for big v-twins and no room left for toolkit, alarm, puncture repair kit, etc - looking at relocating battery, starter relay and reg/rec ‘side saddle’ as per Ducati 996 but on lhs opposite coolant overflow tank - reworking/relocating coolant thermostat and hoses not easy though.

#29http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catal ... -rectifier - said it before here but great service from these guys - ordered 13th March, arrived 20th March, hassle-free of any customs delay, import tax, VAT, etc.

#30Swopped out Evo for #1 SDR round Akra silencers week or so ago - fuel consumption immediately dropped from 40 to 37-38mpg and riding gear permeated with exhaust/fuel fumes - surely difference between two ain’t that significant?
Post 31 by nampus,
#31The exhaust tips are different, apparently different enough to cause those things
Post 32 by Aphex,
#32Same issue here No.47.
A little disappointed in the Mosfet reg/rec. Going to have to find a larger connector than what's supplied and see if it can take the amperage.

#33Bigger connector just = more crud build up - suggest using pre-soldered shrink fit connectors like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heat-Shrink- ... wnSHGhq2Wg (not sure if these actual items are the best you can get though)
