HELP ME PLEASE... Im new to this site and did a search to find a similar issue and could not find any matches.
My problem is... took the bike for a short 30 min ride sat night and when i pulled back into garage i smelled what seemed to be burning rubber. it was faint and I could not tell where it was coming from.
Next morning took bike out again and 15 min into ride smelled it again and 1 min after, at a stop light, smoke poured out of bike so I immediatly turned off. Light turned green so I started up and pulled over. Smoke seemed to be pouring out of where the rectifier is located. Put key to on and nothing... no power, no display, no start. Towed home.
Now I inspected the rectifier and noticed it actually split (cracked) in the back and is burnt with a wierd burnt corrosion coming out of it.
everyone I've talked to says they have never seen it actually split open, only fail and short out...
Has this ever happened to anyone? Can I just replace the rectifier and move on? Do I have to replace anything else? What caused this and if I replace the rectifier will it happen again because of another issue? Why no power or display? What fuse if any do I check?
I'd appreciate any info. Thanks
