Hi guys, my x1 today had the engine light glowing dull so I turned around to go home as a precaution. The speedo started to be erratic and the mileage display faded speedo went back to zero and mileage disappeared. Then rev counter went to zero. Bike still rode ok until then it spluttered and farted and came to a standstill and would not restart. I enjoyed the 2 mile push to home though Battery voltage at home 11.8 volts. Ideas anyone thanks in advance

Not charging

charged battery today now starts and everything works ok. Can anyone give me some advice on what to look for to cure this problem. Many thanks

Have you checked the voltage going to the battery when it's running, I'd be looking for around 13.5 volts

Hi Guys I found this wire from the regulator which goes nowhere???? Think it should go to circuit breaker.

The big black connector with the cable tie around it has a small bullet connector behind it, this is where that lead plugs into.
