Loom and part i have labelled but ink faded
Lobo:
Just one other thought Mike, and am wondering whether all this damage can be a result of a regulator failure.... ie the alternator is producing full power all of the time. This though would quickly trash the battery... did that happen? Trigger, did you replace any other electrical components @ the time you replaced the fuse box / service the electrics (eg cleaning up grounding points)?
Many 550 owners on here (I'm not), is this a common fault gents?
LesterPiglet:
Mine is all ok. I changed the rectifier a long time ago but I can't remember why now. It's from a 750.
MikeM:
lobo cant answer that question bike sat since 1983 ?
who knows whats happened since ?
hopefully geting a new fuse box from member going to attempt to replace al lthe green wire through out the loom and clean up al lcontacts and sort out grounding points
if that dont work the bike will appear in parts on ebay
Trigger:
Lobo, i am in the same boat as Mike. I don't know any history of my bike, apart from the loom was butched to hell. I found No burnt wire's from the regulator or rectifier, only from the fuse box to the connecting block and from the block to the multi join of earth wires. Which is the connection that is soldered.
MikeM:
bedtime video
any evidence of rectifier damage ? I am not so sure
thinking bad earth........
getting interesting though ;)
