Rectifier?

[pinkyfloyd]

As a complete mechanical novice (he says after rebuilding parts of his bike last week), could these be the symptoms of the dreaded R/R failure that seems to be one of the problems with these lovely machines.

Speedo lights dim a little when I rev the engine.
Speedo lights flicker a little when the indies are flashing.

Bike starts fine and the battery is reletivly new so any advice, suggestions welcome.

do you have a fluke meter?

[benny hedges]

from the symptoms you describe.... the regulator bit is fkt.
get it changed asap.
look on ebay for cbr125, cbr400, cb11100 etc as they are all plug n play, new larger finned type.
plenty on ebay last time i looked.
if you leave it you will defo end up with a dead battery, stranded in the middle of nowhere & could possibly damage the clocks, cdi. icm, stator etc

Cheers Benny, Thats what I was expecting to hear. Seems the dump on the side's done more damage than the cosmetic. Grrr!

Check the voltage at the battery terminals with a multi-meter. It should be reading somewhere in between 13.5 - 15.5 volts with engine running.
