Im happy on anything where the engine light isnt glowing and Im confident it will start... All the best sir

[@jonyr1TT]

Thanks buddy all the best John.👍

[@seantreloar1186]

Well done on the pass mate, honda vfrs are the same on charging issues as well crappie wiring connectors do it mainly and overheat everything trust me I know mine needs doing at the moment 😅

[@jonyr1TT]

Thanks Sean I'm happy it passed. Cheers for the helpful info mate.👍🏍️

[@barryabell5410]

You certainly travelled a fair distance for your MOT Johnny I recognised Broxtowe Lane and beechdale Rd areas from this video I'm born and bred Nottingham lad now living in York love your videos keep em coming

[@jonyr1TT]

Thanks Barry. The MOT garage was on bracebrige drive five mile round trip. Bet you went to players school? I did. 👍

[@pinkerton2964]

On my Daytona 955 I mounted the regualtor/rectifier on a 3mm copper plate and put a computer fan above it. The copper plate helps soak away heat. I always thought the battery was too small on the 955's

[@jonyr1TT]

Hi Pinkerton. Thanks for all the helpful information buddy much appreciated cheers 👍

[@user-gv3bt5mi3o]

Hello john well done in passing the mot briliant

[@jonyr1TT]

Thank you 😊 👍

[@tripledaveridesagain]

Hi I put that clear electrical grease on my Stater Rectifier blocks Connect that's where the water get in and a good ampage battery.

[@jonyr1TT]

Hi Dave. Cheers for the helpful information it's much appreciated.👍

[@markwilliamson2603]

Hello, you might have sussed this by now, but most Triumphs will throw an engine management light if the tank has been removed and/or sensors have been unplugged and the ignition is switched on. This will clear after 3 heat cycles (cold to hot) of the engine

[@jonyr1TT]

Hi Mark. Yes lots of Fuses removed and plugs unplugged. Thanks for the helpful information it's much appreciated.👍

[@brakenoodle105]

There are some good videos on KZbin on how to check a motorcycle charging system with a meter. DC readings at the battery plus AC readings direct from the stator. A decent battery should be around 13V or just over rising to about 14.5V when revving the engine. It shouldn't go above 14.7V.

[@jonyr1TT]

Yes thanks I've seen a few. Cheers for the help it's much appreciated.👍

[@paul-thomasjewell2163]

Well done Johnny! That's great news! When is that R1150RT coming? I have aquired the R1200GS Adv and the BMWs are great!

[@jonyr1TT]

Thanks Paul. It will be a while before I get a 1100RT If ever sadly. Good luck with the GS great looking bikes.👍🏍️

Congratulations on getting a clean MoT, always nice after putting the effort in They don't "suffer" from Stator Burn any more than many bikes ('90's Hondas were worse). The culprit (root cause) can usually be traced back to poor condition of the big multi plug connector. Corrosion on the terminals makes the reg/rec think the alternator needs more excitation and forces higher output which eventually burns the windings. In the process that can also fry the battery and often the reg/rec too from over voltage at high revs. There's chapter and veerse on these issues on TTF. The "Sasquatch Mod" effectively bypasses the multi plug, ideally with new high quality cable but if the damage has already been done, it can be a hefty bill to put it right. Modern (better quality) Mosfet reg/rec's are a bit more robust, Electrex World are a well trusted supplier. That doesn't seem to be the case suggested by your short test, anything over 2k rpm I would expect to see the voltage rising to 14.5V, the fact that it drops slightly as you rev is to be expected as the fuel pump will run longer. Needs more investigation mate. The MIL light not resetting could be a number of issues, depends how long the battery was disconnected, it might need an adaptation reset, the process varies depending on the ECU model, check on TTF for explanations from Bixer who knows what he's talking about. Enjoy the triple burble and addictive torque.

Thanks buddy I'm happy it passed. I only roade it a short distance but I loved every second, it reminds me of the gpz rx1000. But more comfortable to ride. Cheers for all the helpful information mate I appreciate it.👍

[@tripledaveridesagain]

Do a few heat Cycles and the engine light will disappear .

[@jonyr1TT]

Good to know thank you.👍

[@garymorgan628]

As long as the battery is charging at 13v it should be OK I would say, maybe check the regulator and make sure the battery connections are good, at least its mot'd 👍👍

[@jonyr1TT]

Hi Gary. Thanks. Cheers for the info mate 👍

[@andypicken7848]

You got ya self a new dog for Christmas John ?

[@jonyr1TT]

No mate she's been with us for nearly 9 years. 👍🐅
