As Joe says it's probably not charging correctly, as mentioned by another member I would buy a volt meter, they are inexpensive, from memory Halfords sell them around £12 as do Screw Fix. I have attached a photo of a GSXR running with the volt meter on, that test is simplicity itself, you will soon get to grips using it to diagnose more complex procedures.

Sure thing you come right back. That's what we are all about. Testing the reg there was at least a couple of threads on here explain how to test. And I am positive triumph made a longer version of the wires clearly as it was found that the existing reg was over heating and had no air flow. But don't get disheartened we have all been in your shoes and we are even learning with your posts.

Hi Chubzilla, MOSFET is the way to go as an upgrade, I paid £120 for the last one I bought last year, it's a simple replacement, no alterations needed to any wiring etc, it comes with fully easy to follow instructions if you are not familiar with replacing one.

Yes do what ever rocks your boat and do stay with us here no matter what. And we are with you on the woe's

I've used Redex for many years in my Trident and have only once had a problem with it misfiring and running rough - that was the time that I over wintered it without any Redex (or similar) in the tank and then took it out for the first ride of the new year. A quick visit to the nearest Halfords (about 3 miles away as luck would have it!) to buy a bottle of the red stuff and put some in the tank had the bike purring away beautifully within a couple of miles!
