ur rectifer gone case liao....need to change it.....plus change ur batt also....rectifer cannot charge ur batt cosing not enough elect supply....tt y ur lights r all out....

 

happen to me twice in a yr....v common prob in rvf...

 

wat u can do is to install a headlight switch...so u can turn it off when u dun really need it...like starting ur bike....

[Non Stop Racing]

i have a headlight switch,got relay oso..during the day i always off headlight, riding distance always 30mins n above.rectifer is about i think less half yr old,the model is with cooling fins. aniway after tt bike die my fren come n help,he kinda shake the bike or knock around the seat region.. the lights came back again, n i try to start, it work. does this more to rectifer case or wiring loose/burn ? cos sometimes when the bike is hot, in neutral ,the neutral light keep flickering,sometimes disappear..

The fuses should be in 2 colors : red and green. 10A is red, 15A is green. They should be placed according to the diagram show on the bottom of the lid when u open it up.

 

I suggest you check if the fuses are blown anot. Then make sure that the correct fuse is in the slot.

 

Once the mechanic (I wont say who), did this to my fuse box.... 15A fuse in a 10A slot and 10A fuse in a 15A slot. What happened was that my headlight and starter circuit, which is uses a 15A fuse (now a 10A fuse), kept blowing. That resulted in the bike not being able to be started at all.

 

So check the fuse placings first, they might have been placed incorrectly or they might have blown.

 

 

 

 

Ok, from what I saw in the other thread, all your fuses are 15A??!! Check the diagram! There are 1 or 2 slots that have 10A fuses!

 

Btw, the ones that are horizontal when you look at them on the left of the bike are the ones you should be concerned about. There should be 2 more vertical ones on the side, those 2 are the spares. So all in all you have 6 fuse placings, 4 actual ones (horizontal) and 2 spares (vertical).

 

I'm not with my bike now, so cant remember which is which, but according to the haynes manual.... should be like dat:

 

10A (Fan)

15A (Headlight)

10A (Ignition/brake light)

10A (Starter)

 

I will confirm this when i am with my bike later. But you MUST make sure they are the correct fuse! 15A slot you use 10A fuse still not that bad, but 10A slot you use 15A.... thats dangerous.

[Non Stop Racing]

tks jungle boy!!! im going replace it asap

[jungleboy111]

I just checked my bike. Yes, the configuration is as mentioned above. Only correction is the 15A fuse is blue, not green.

 

I've got one extra 10A fuse, if you want i can pass to you.

Jungelboy,so how is the Acumen alarm on yr bike so far?Any electrical problems?

So far no electrical problems.

 

The tilt sensor is not bad, once the bike lifted up the alarm will sound. The ignition alarm is standard. As for the vibration sensor, not as sensitive as i would like it. It requires quite a hard knock or vigorous shake to get the alarm to do a warning beep.

The fuse only costs a few cents as compared to the battery and whatever. Always check the fuses 1st - correct fuse at correct slot and unblown fuses.

yah man, I think jungle is right, better change the fuses soon.

 

so this is the issue? errr...I got a previous experience....no starter sound, no lights also....I found the issue to be at the battery connections....think it was getting corroded and the nut securing the screw in the positive end was kinda loose.

 

the issue went away after I scrap off the deposited layer on the battery and resecuring the screw.

 

Duno if it will help but thought no harm take a look!

i went to k&t n eugene ur right..wire is loose. he tighten the nut then change to original fuse 10a 15a 10a 10a. so far so gd..but when bike is hot,my neutral light always disappear..no idea why. he quote me yuasa batt 75$, retifier 175$.. is tt reasonable ? cos my retifier when test ,it wasnt veri 'good'

Hello RVFians!

 

Do you guys know how much it is to get a legal aftermarket exhaust and where to get it? What are the procedures to get it legalised? From what I know only Motoworld do that.

Where can I get the Varnel kit and what would be the costs?

Thanks!

[Non Stop Racing]
