Cheers guys. I will give it a good warn up tomorrow as see what volts are at the battery,

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Fwiw my experience of batteries going flat has been to look at the rectifier causing a drain or ac going into the battery.

philward:
I have had charging issues on my just rebuilt 500k2 - I had a new replacement cheapo regulator rectifier fitted and decided to go back to separate regulator and rectifier (having identified alternator was ok) - separate new rectifiers are hard to source but found this:-

which works a treat - quick delivery from US and didn't get whacked with import duty/vat (only relevant if it turns out to be the rectifier obviously)
As previous posts, let us know the charging figures and electrickery savvy members will tell you how to check alternator, rectifier and regulator

Bryanj:
All of the parts in the sohc four charging system are very robust unless messed with. Most charging problems can be fixed by cleaning connectors and making sure no volt drop in switches

boilermaker1:
Thanks for the suggestions everyone... I put a multi meter across the battery this evening, 13-15 volts depending on revs.
Can I now assume charging system is okay?
