    ok weird one.............took it out for a ride. it started on button.

    i checked its charging voltage and it was on 14.6v.....so off i went for a ride.

    done about 15-20 miles not missing a beat.......then all of a sudden clocks died bike dead as a dodo.

    so i took multimeter out and battery was @ 11.2V...wouldnt start on button. so i bumped started it....fired up first time.

    got it home once again not missing a beat. battery was @ 12.3V but the charging voltage was no difference.

    so im heading towards recfifier is on way out???? best not be stator....i replaced

    stator , reg/rec about 18 months ago. and this battery is only 6-7months old.

    Yep, sounds like reg/rectifier... had similar problems with a CBR6 some weeks back, can make the bike seem possessed

    I've had 2 batteries fail on 2 different bikes due to 1 fact.........they aint being used enough!! Bike batteries these days are so small they need to be used or charged most of the time or they will fail.

    If you got a block of wires going into your starter relay solenoid the problem might be the relay,If they are not protected very well all the road crap rots them out eg water,,and the contacts rot which causes miss fire and clocks etc going dead and not letting bike start.then next time it is all ok when ridden.

    I had something similar on my old RS125. Took hours to trace that 2 wires had got hot, melted through the surrounding plastic, and were draining the battery.
