I have replaced the battery about a month ago. Think I will take your advise and look behind the front fairing as I have already checked the starter solenoid and reg rec earth, both are good. Many thanks for all the advise and suggestions.

Left bike overnight..v batt =13.0..engine running lights off..v batt =14.50...engine running lights on v batt =14.1.

With a meter attached to the battery, when I increase the revs the voltage reading drops... is this right?? Also every other bike I've owned the headlight brightens when the bike is revved, this one stays the same brightness. Confused. P's I have replaced the reg rec to a Honda finned one.

Hey Mac V2, I've looked on eBay but none match the last part of the code, I'm unable to pm you cos lack of posts. The code on my 1999 ecu = MBBA ED 001A 8408.

So I decided that with battery and charging system all ok that I would check the TPS, it read 540ohms, however there was no 5v input from ECU. I followed wiring to ECU and tested for continuity, all good so according to Haynes this means a new ECU.

Thanks for the replies chaps, the battery has just been renewed, 11 amp 210 cca .the stator was replaced with a known good one and gave same readings, this was all checked by tony a member when he fitted my manual ccts. We also ran another earth cable, tony found that the front cylinder was 90deg ou...

Thanks Chris. I'm pretty sure it's not that, I'm wondering if the tps is in need of adjustment after just reading up on it, don't know if this would affect choke operation though.

I have a 1999 which has had starting issues since I bought it. I changed the wiring from the connector block (stator o/p) to the reg/rec, changed the reg / rec, changed the battery and starter motor. Checked all electrical and earths. All ok, however the bike turns over slowly, and is slower still w...

Today is a good day, after months of having charging and starting problems with the battery dying on me I think I may have solved it. The three pin connector which joins the stator output was corroded on the back side where it joins the loom. I have made up three wires and run these directly from st...

Thx for the invite wicky & agent pineapple, I live in Barking Essex . And magnum thx for the cct heads up, I have read they are prone to failure and am hopefully getting them fitted within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the welcome people, it's a standard vtr and I'm based in Essex . Had problems since owning it with starting and sluggish performance. Until meeting Tony yesterday. It's running way better now and I understand why people love them, Tony discovered that the front cylinder had be set 180deg ...

Hi everyone, first time V twin owner, brilliant site with stacks of info and advise. Thx to all involved . Ride safe.
