Well, gents, I hope that you will put aside the time to spread your knowledge online or at a Meeting.

Just think of on-the-road repairs. If you stopped to help, and I told you that....

* my battery was boiling up, then dying, what would you diagnose and how would you verify that?

* if I wanted to fit, say, a power take off point, where would I wire it to?

* if I wanted to use a heated jacket, how would I know if my alternator could supply enough juice?

*how can I test my alternator for good health - how would I diagnose a fault?

* could I go to scrapyard and take a regulator/rectifier off a car and use that if mine failed on the bike?

*any advice about reading a wiring diagram? (apart from a magnifying glass and a pointer)

and so on .... ..- you guys will have lots of examples of common problems to sort out.


I've put a new battery in my multimeter, ready for action!!!!!!

Umm the first is roadside .. most of the others are preperation...

Instructions on using a DMM .. comming (needs photos etc ..and going over) .. but it is not a complete thing on bike electrics .. !! Just the basic use of a DMM.

Sounds good!
