Last summer just starting a ride my bike suddenly stopped----definitely electrical---would try to start but spark would disappear after initial 1-2 seconds on the start button. Finally with lightly tapping rectifier-who knows why---my spark normalized and it would run. Cut out once or twice after and with light tap on rectifier would restart and run. Will start although not quite idleing properly and will run fine. Does not seem now to be getting charge to battery---tested leads from regulator and they show 80 at 5000 rpm-----continuity tests ok---did put new rectifier on last year ----battery will take charge but is not charging on bike when bike is running and with lights on battery drains and will not start bike. It's like charging not getting to battery from regulator? Could try new battery but this one does take charge from charger and holds it at 12.6 but drains on bike. thx bob

R/R and ignition shouldn't be related. Check coils, igniter and crank trigger coils. -

If nothing on this seems to help, let us know so that these can be ruled out.Comment
