Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 dont you bloody start Unlike poor old Craig's Honda .... I can always be guarranteed to start Quote
Guest Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 from the sounds of it, could be a fuel blockage? or maybe a dodgy connection to the fuel pump? Quote
Guest Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) nope nope nope nope nope...its the reg rec.... basically the reg rec controls the charging voltage. if this if f**ked, running the bike with /without lights will cause the same effect.i am presuming that when u hit the started theres nothing there.. if it was fuel related u'd shill get the whiney noise of the bike trying to start.althought u bumped it off... as the coils are spinning this generates a lil bit of enery/ spark.. what ever u wanna call it. yor bike will run with a knackered reg reg altho u will need to keep your revs up very high.... especialy junctions, roundabouts slowing down etc... u will have probs noticed that the engine tries to die when u drop ur revs..NC's are all know for cooking Regulator Rectifiers - one of the lil problems with Grey Imports.worst case scenario is that one of your coils are fubar - low or high tension coil. altho this would not cause the bike to cut out completely.. only misfire badly.worst worst case scenario is the CDI is bolloxed - in which case i recomment if u get another.. u buy the one with the GOLD label, and NOT the BLUE - the Blue once are restricted - gold are de-restricted. if u have an 87' or 88' nc23, these are all de-restricted as standard, if u have and 89' it wil have a blue label CDI as standard.u could also go all out and buy a HRC CDI for about £250 but they like rockinghorse shitif need be... my bike gonna be off road for some time now.. u can borrow my reg rec n run urs for a week or so to see if that elimindates the problems... if so.. then u know what u need.. pid.
