Re: Fitting the alternator cover

Apply sealant on both sides of the gasket - that works! If you take it all apart again make sure you remove ALL the old gasket from the surfaces on both the engine and alternator cover.

Re: Charging problem

If you do get a Triumph or Yamaha unit and you can't get hold of the loom side connectors then you can get a Triumph wiring harness (Triumph part No. T2500676) and splice that onto your stator wires and extend the 0V & 12V cables directly to the battery through a 30A fuse.Image Perfect info.....I ...

Re: Charging problem

.....think I will start looking for a burnt stator - if it looks okay follow cybercarl instructions and/or buy a new battery.

I have only used the bike 3 times since I replaced the rectifier....so it has max been running 80 miles


thanks for your help folks

Re: Another CCT question

Are you saying you want an aftermarket tensioner that auto tensions the chain as it wears or are you saying that you want manual because the Honda auto ones are not tensioning anymore because of chain wear. I know it's an odd question. My bike has done 14.000 miles and the tensioners has allready ...
