ok, so it thought it was just a bad battery??? I even changed the rectifier.. I can push start the bike and ride it all night till it stalls...but as soon a it stops, no juice again?? Could it be the stator? I thought if the stator was bad, and the battery is dead it wouldn't run?

 

or no one could help, but thanks.......

 

I would think that the battery is dead, since you can compression start it and it keeps running. If the stator was bad it would only run as long as the battery has juice left. Just my 2 cents.

 

yeah, so i changed the battery and it killed the new one too?

 

check it out, its a charging system diagnosis. My buddies 04' CBR1000 is doing the same thing at the moment.

what happens when u try to start it? does it click, try to crank but cant?

 

after i push start it, it will run till i stall it... then just clicks

 

your not gonna be able to diagnose a stator without the use of a multimeter. If you do have a multimeter, test the three yellow wires lead to lead testing ACVolts. They should be at least 20vac and within %10 of each other. I would also check for good conections from stator to rec, then rec to battery.

 

could be the starter also. If it is drawing too many amps, the battery won't push it.

 

im having the same problem, and changed stators, but not rectifiyer yet..... i can charge it and start it, but it's only getting 12.48 volts to the rectifyier, and the rec. isn't making more, so im guessing thats what it is for me......if you find out what it was for you be sure to post up what it was

 

fixed it this afternoon..... it was the plug that connects the rectifier, it had got real hot, and everytme i wiggled it the voltage to the battery would change. I took a screwdriver and closed the little clips in the plug more and put a zip tie around the plug itself, no problems since..
