Hi everyone i'm new to this forum stuff so forgive mistakes.
Ok so i have a er6f last month whilst riding home all the dials died on the bike and when i let the rev's drop to idle the bike cut out and wouldn't start again. i was told this was a battery. Got a new battery same thing happened again, was told needed new regulator/rectifer and the generator needed to be re wound, done all this, good as new for a month now the same thing has happened again, please any advice would be grateful?

I won't be able to help much but to avoid others wasting time:

What is the year of the bike?

What is the mileage?

And do you have a multimeter and know how to use it?

Who was it that 'told you' that these parts needed replaced in the first place?

Its a 57 plate
36000 miles
I dont own a meter
A bike garage who done all the work for me.
I aint got a clue what could be causing this.

As it's on a 57 plate why isn't it being repaired under warranty?

Warranty is 2 years unlimited mileage.

i do the service's myself as i do so many miles a year so warranty is in valid.
Do not know if they re wound the gen as cant see but defo done the reg/rec as got the old back, it cost me 300 quid so hope so
