[Phinc929 RR]

Hey ladies and gentes. So I recently bought a 929 rr from an owner who bought it brand new 2001 . I got it with 26,000 miles and it felt like it run fine. I’m also new to riding so don’t have much to compare it too. Anyways, after first few times riding the bike left me stranded after an hour or so ride or I would get back home and turn it off and try to fire it up and nothing (sounds like something is clicking fast). So I changed the battery I also did oil change plugs coil coolant flush. And I searched online that it was probably the stator so I replaced it with a part from eBay and it still wasn’t fixed. Also the previous owner had a lot of hack job wiring when he installed a remote back seat lack that connected straight to the battery. And fronts are hid and I’m buying leds because that might be it. But I still don’t know what to do please help

Has it got an immobiliser?

To clarify: Does it stop, cut out, or is it That you ride, stop, and it won’t restart When you want to get going again?

If you already replaced the stator, then replace your rectifier regulator it is back there at the rear seat also and I would check the wires around it they may have been hacked into. If you’re lucky you haven’t ruined your battery yet. The bike is dying because the charging system is not working and it is running off of the battery volts only eventually it completely dies when it kills your battery see what I mean.

Yep, sounds like the reg/rec is gone as well. Look at all your grounds and charging system related connectors. Make sure they’re not toasty. The ground block connector up by the speedo can also get hot and melt.

Did you ever get this figured out? Im picking up one this weekend thats doing the same im told and im sure it just needs the rectifier and probably stator replaced but curious on your findings

 

[Gunk]

They’re major weak points so could need both replacing

T

They’re major weak points so could need both replacing

Turns

They’re major weak points so could need both replacing

So apparently they both have been replaced, and yet around the hr mark bike cuts off any ideas?

 

[Gunk]

I would check the main earth for the loom, does it restart?

 

[Gunk]

As @IanDoohan says earlier, check the main alternator connector, mine has just burnt out and had to be replaced, they get hot and over time the wiring oxidises and becomes brittle.

 

[Jay37]

Im told you can kill it and switch off and back on. I myself havent gotten to experience first hand. He said didnt wanna try and figure out so i picked it up for 400$ 4k miles ran perfect home. Im gonna do that thing I read about and see if any codes come up other wise i picked up a multimeter and downloaded a service manual.

 

[Jay37]

Is this what youre talking about earth ?

 

[Gunk]

That’s the one

 

[Gunk]

It could just be a faulty kill switch

 

[Jay37]

Yeah ive heard some times the kill switch acts up. I gave it the knock test but this weekend ill look into it. Thank you for taking time to respond. Any help is very much appreciated.

It mean that it'll not work now but you can remodel it to get backup for riding
