Do those red things around the head lights light up red or are they just for looks.

If they do it would look awesome Mr. Green

Well I got her home all fine, until I notice the stupid amounts of steam and acid coming from the batt overflow Crying or Very sad the reg/rec is dead and the batt boiled dry.

Also having issues with the rear lights but I will sort that once the reg/rec is done as it may be related.

Tad annoyed but heh its a lovely clean bike other then that. Not sure what will have caused the fault, Im guessing its just a matter of replacing the reg/rec and batt and its good to go ?

Only problem now is I have no manual and no idea where the reg/rec actually is on this bike Rolling Eyes

Well I replaced the reg/rec + battery and went for a blast to only be greated by more leaking battery acid Shocked how my heart sunk as I thought the reg had blown again and there was something more major causing this.

Turned out to be just an over filled battery, tested the reg and its still ok Very Happy I then checked the rear lights and fixed a dodgy earth on one connector and they all work too now Mr. Green
