GSXR400 gk76a electrical problem

[21chappers]

heya, last week i sadly came off my bike at about 40 and the bike slid on its right hand side. tried having a quick ride on it last night and the starter doesnt work, just get a ticking noise under my seat. also when i use any of the lights and front brake it switches my engine off. would this mean i just need a new right hand switch gear or could it be worse?

cheers

aha, but did the R&G's work?

The clicking is your starter solenoid going to work.

I honestly couldn't tell you much else though, sorry mate.

When i had my gsxr400 that clicking noise was a flat battery. Does the engine stop when you are riding it with the lights on or not??

I had loads of problems with my reg/rectifier and alternator. Basically the battery wasn't being charged so kept cutting the bike out.

yeah the R&G's worked brill, saved the fairings well.

yeah if i use the lights it switches it off aswell. while the bikes running after being bump started that is as it wont put any power into the battery

If you've only just put a new battery into it then either you got a dud battery, or something's frying it, i.e. Reg-Rec, etc.

charged my battery last nite and it started and all the electrics seemed to work fine. idle seemed a bit funny but aint used it in over a week so may just need runnin through. lets just hope its all sorted.
just need to get these rounded off bolts off now to replace my right hand rear set.

Pop it down here sometime if you need a hand.

well just got everything sorted on it and went for a ride to MFN and back. just as i get home the electrics start playing up again as the battery has been drained.
so from this im guessin its just not charging. what could it be?

cheers for any help

ladies nail file up it, cut it to size and give it a good fucking with it.

have you checked your solinoid? and that the battery is screwed on TIGHTLY???
if its a little loose it will do as you described.

that connector's a bit trashed dude. The corrosion is caused by age.

If I were you I'd cut them off and make a new connector using insulated bullets.

well annoyingly it has started to do the same again. not want to work with the electrics on and will not charge the battery. the connection i soldered is still fine so have ordered a new reg/rec to see if this works. any ideas if it doesnt?

cheers
