3. If you haven't changed your reg/rect then now would be the time - you need a MOFSET type. I bought mine from Electrex and it was a simple swap without faffing about with different cable solutions.
The battery needs to be in tip top condition and fully charged - I leave mine on a solar charger.
My bike now starts on the button, regardless of temp/length of time standing. No more "will she won't she" when you start up in front of a crowd  |
I've also fitted a mosfet type reg/rectifier. One thing to note on the s4rs is the plastic breather canister under the seat had to be re-shaped due to the way the connectors fit and take up space on new reg/rect unit.
