VFR400 NC30 Electrical funzies any help appreciated

[mattevans58]

Hey guys,

I've been overhauling this NC30 I've had for a while now and I got it all up and running again but had a flat battery so I hooked up the charger and stupidly ran the bike with the live charger running. I've now got no lights on the bike however the headlight works, pass light and the bike starts on the button (which in relived about). However the indicators, brake light, oil and neutral light in the dash don't come on anymore. I'm presuming from what I read it's the Regulator/rectifier that's blown?? Although when it comes to electrics it fries my brain...

So if anybody has an suggestions I'll be greatly appreciated!

I'd check your fuses first off.

What you describe is not consistant with a reg/rec failure. That would pretty much just stop the battery charging (or make it overcharge).

I can't think how leaving a charger attached then starting the engine would damage the reg/rec. Damage to the charger would be more likely.

Pull them out one at a time and look at them side-on against a light coloured background.

I'm assuming they are blade fuses.

As you say, if they are blown, you can usually see a break in the metal loop but do pull them out to look properly.
