    Why did it work until swapped to the other bike than stop, that doesn’t make sense. Maybe wiring hooked up wrong and the heat is because it is shorted to ground or pinched wire, think about it the only difference is being swapped bikes and if it was done probably it should work on that bike shouldn’t it?

    Mick you are a mechanic, you should know that a rectifier converts ac voltage to dc voltage and the headlight is working isn’t it I read

    Check your wiring, keep it simple and cheap first

    TB

    Bit more of a think about this and if I was you i would check that you have good earth connections first,Not knowing what you have done I agree with TB that you should check the wiring is correct,

    gday mate
    my 98 model xr400 did a similar thing, if i held the wires going internal to the reg/rect in just the right place all was ok, otherwise it would heat up as you say and things just did not operate as they should, purchased a new reg/rect from Ballards (cheapest I could find) and all was well after that
    hope that helps in some way

    I had a similar bad warranty claim with a 2006 Husaberg, after waiting 6 weeks and hearing every excuse under the sun I spoke to The Fair trading department who had some good advice, so armed with this info I bypassed the dealer and basically threatened Husaberg Australia with further action and guess what, had the bike fixed and back to me within 2 weeks
    All I can suggest is to be patient at first but the dealers and companys have obligations they have to adhear to, so don’t be afraid to take further action if you think you are being unfairly treated.

    are they going to give out any information on how many special tests they are going to have and are they going to run different trail sections every day with out this information i would not bother entering after the 4day at orange with only 3 tests run twise daily and almost the same trails daily was fairly average if they do that again could be the end of it

    i would imagine with Oyster bay and the central tablelands clubs being invloved the event will be much much better then Orange, I will be keeping my ears open with the boys from central to see if I can get some info, already got a hit of the final moto spot, park ferme said to be at Portland showground

    Hey Moto, you’ll have come for a ride here and Medogrocket and I will show you the type of terain that will be ridden.

    We were taliking about it tonight and working out a training loop so I don’t stop every 15 min for a chat.

    I’m sure you can run bark busters. You have to have a mirror, working horn and working head and tail light. Your helmet gets inspected for any type of damage.

    they were picky with helmets this year, 2 mirrors required also working brake light, bikes required to meet noise reg of less then 94db if they test, all this is stated in the MA book that you get with your licence otherwise it is on the MA website,
    http://www.ma.org.au/AM/Template.cfm?Section=General_competition_rules&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentFileID=41136
    club membership required, $265 currently for your licence, $550 a4de entry
    If you don’t want to worry about tyres or punctures it would be best to run mooses at Sunny/Portland especially if the A4DE is run with tight trail times

    More info as requested
    :woohoo:

    Mal5.1 just sent you some info on getting your MA licence, also found out I don’t have to get a new licence just renew my old one as I am still within the 12 month period, starting to get keen, not sure what the wife will think, maybe I wont say anything until the last minute,
    Hopefully details and entries will be out sooner then last year

    you guy’s suck, fancy organising a ride when I cannot come!!!:blush:
    Gez that was a bad choice of words seeing though the reason I cannot go riding is I had the good old slip and cannot stand the beating the tackle gets while riding.
    What’s the stickers for Mal, your not covering up scratches already are you
    Have a good ride
    look forward to a ride report
