Hi Goldie,

I have owned 5 Hornet 600,s ,,

You need to get out a multimeter and take some readings , it is known for the reg/rec to cause issues on the hornet 6,

cheers, I haven't got one, I'll try and get hold of one over the weekend. Thanks again.

I know it's been mentioned already, but it could easily be the side stand or clutch switch. I'm no mechanic or sparky but, as I undersatnd it, if either are broken and cutting the power, pulling the clutch or upping the stand will make no difference? Apologies if I'm talking nonsense!

Have you got fuel?

OK, Ill go now.

Personally I would get the Reg/rec checked.

Sounds like it could be a dicky starter switch. Had this on the GS, exactly the same symptoms.

no expert but i'd go with regulator/rectifier... CBF's are known for this, know that from experience, have heard of similar from other handas too. Maybe try looking on the hornet forum to see if anyone else has had similar problems.

Mmmmm

Try the kill and starter switch a few times.. They can get stuck. Just had it on the SP.

Silly question but you have checked the terminal connections are tight?
