fastfreddybikes Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 So you are suggesting young Simon buys a scabby ex racer? Are you sure your earth crushing antics haven’t damaged your noodle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_H Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 No experience with triumphs, but if you suspect a battery drain, find someone with a multimeter, stick it on amps, pull a fuse and put the leads in place of the fuse. If there's a draw on that particular circuit then you'll see it on the meter. It's not the only way to find any trouble but its a quick start. Also once you've got your mate with the meter, check the voltage output of your new regulator, make sure it really is charging. I'd do this first really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansp1 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Does it have an alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Triumph? Does it have the factory fit alarm/immobiliser? If so, it is a Datatool and is the spawn of Satan, that would be my first port of call. I had similar on my 97 Speed Triple. Buy the bypass plug from Triumph, it genuinely just plugs into the loom and can be bypassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurninman Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's worth checking the stator output to see if you're getting any juice to the reg/rec in the first place. You should get about the same voltage on each phase. Also wire the reg/ rec direct to the battery - there's plenty of threads about this on Trumpet forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Sounds like it's no charging. It could be the wires are a bit fried changing the resistance or maybe the alternator is a bit duff so not charging enough ... or it could be a combination of all of these knocking out the new bit that you put on .... although that's usually a honda problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
