Mate, Krychev is welcome to have a go....but only after I have! I've only ridden it down the driveway and back with the crap tyres on so far. There'll probably be a few "shakedown" runs this weekend though, once I've got some more fuel in it...private test course only as it still doesn't have rego

lookin good mick,aboveboard automotive is good for rego inspections if you need someone.if ya need a hand with paintwork in the future just yell mate if its anything like my 82 gpz 750 it will be lots of fun & very forgiving .

Thanks Mick. Gos gave me the good word on rego inspections, but I was definitely planning on hassling you when it came time to paint...I've got a few ideas but I don't know how tricky they are going to be

Bloody!!!!!! I'd been a naughty boy and had a blat up and down my street...noticed it seemed to bog down a bit and thought I'd check the timing now I had my timing light working again. Check it all and it looks sweet...then I notice the smoke pouring out from under the battery!!!!!! The dodgy rectifier decided to lunch itself and start to melt as fast as it possibly could with a lovely fizzing sound. Luckily it happened in the garage with the seat up so I could disconnect the battery asap and stop the burn before any flames started.

So there goes any chance of rego in the near future cos I'll be trying to source a new rectifier....and the B1 (and C1) had a different one to all the other 650's so they aren't too easy to get a hold of. I was hoping this was something I could replace down the line a bit. There are a few places though, but they are a bit pricey.

mick, do what i did, go to dick smiths and get a 400va rectifier, heatsink and a alu box. rectifier, heatsink, metal box.

it'll cost ya under $55 aside from the leads, thermal paste, and connectors.

It worked well when i got it going, just make sure you check the rest of the electrics and make sure the stator isnt shorting out, etc..

Thanks mike, I'll have a bit of a look through that stuff, although I've found a place in the states that can get me a new one for about $65 dollars including postage that has all the right connectors and a warranty.
