Ok new regulator/rectifier and battery fitted the bike starts well BUT went out yesterday for a good ride around it was fine in traffic and on level roads upon choosing a long uphill bit of road, under sustained load it's misfiring and lacking power at one point stopped for fuel ten minutes later rode off bike was running normally for around ten minutes then it started again, i suspect the coil is breaking down under load what do you think?
The saga continues
