Evening every1, I am the new proud owner of a 2001 Mille rsv. It's immaculate and as covered a little over 25,000.
It sounds the business and makes me smile a lot more than riding my Fireblade. Really love the difference compared to the il4.
I love everything about the Mille, looks, riding position, noise and the way it handles etc.
A little about me.... I'm from West Yorkshire, live with my wife and we have a little person due very soon!
This forum looks really good, full of info and I'm sure I will learn and benefit a lot.
So my issue is if anyone can be kind enough to guide me is with the wires that come off the rectifier.
I had a few starting issues so I investigated further.... I heard about the sprag starter on these things and costing £££££ to put right so from day1 I've had an optimiser on it whilst not been used.
The digi dash is showing 11.1 V whilst sat in traffic idling and to be honest it doesn't fill me with confidence. When I increase the revs it nearly hits 13volts!? Is this correct?
So I've heard vague comments about a brown connector coming off the rectifier...so this afternoon I took the rear fairing off and I'm greeted with no brown connector but instead a burnt crispy roll of three barrel crimped yellow cables!!!!
So what's the best way forward now. If I cut back to good cable it will be to short to crimp through and also I have no idea on polarity as they all separated when I took the tape off!
Do you think the rectifier will be damaged after all this?
I would appreciate any help, or if anyone is in bradford/ Bingley area and has knowledge of this id be more than happy to hand someone pound notes!
Thanks in advance
Gaz.
