It start but can't ride
SOURCE: Generator light on 748 always on
and is even there when just the ignition is on. 1. Battery tested at 12.7 when off. 2. 12.2 or so when first started then 13.5 to 14.3 when reved up to 2K to 8k+. 3. Yellow stator to R/R wires mint with no crimps or burn marks and any other imperfections. 4. Headlight gets brighter when it revs up to 2K or so as it should. 5. Bike starts ides revs rides 100% fine (took it out today for a while with no problems. Granted I didn't go to far from home as I didn't want to get stranded. 6. Disconnected everything at the battery, check all fuses, couldn't find any damaged wires, etc... reconnected, blue light still on, even when just the ignition is in on mode with the motor not on. Curve ball... I took off the license plate mount including the rear blinkers last week by just disconnecting the OEM connectors under the seat (turning it into a track only machine), no shorts or anything there, can this trigger the light to come on? So any ideas? Any other test points I should look into? I really want to get this sorted before hitting the track!,Either you didn't get the notches set correctly, or the 'rod' inside the cable isn't seated right. Or the rod broke like mine just did, and will need replacement.,,,

I really want to get this sorted before hitting the track!,When a regulator/rectifier goes bad it can cause a condition where the battery could be overcharged or undercharged. I had an old GS750 that would boil the battery dry about every 2 months but since it was a Suzuki I just kept refilling the battery with electrolyte. The light will come on if the power output is over or under a set voltage parameter. The removal of all lights has probably caused the regulator to exceed this parameter. Plug back in the lights and see if it goes away.,,,
SOURCE: Fitting Ducati 748 clutch slave cylinder to square case 900 1978
There is an hydraulic clutch replacement for the cable on a squarecase engine. No mods needed, just bolt on from memory. Fits a clutch master cylinder from a beltdrive Supersport and a custom slave inside the housing where the normal lever goes.
I will need to find the contact info for the bloke who does them though as it has been a while since I got the info myself.

I never heard that one, you should be able to see inside the tank and see if it is rusting or all gunked up. Pull the lines off and see if they run free and clean, change the filter, I would check the rubber lines to the fuel pump, they may be leaking air, vacuum assisted. Check the spark plugs. I had trouble with the champions, so I went and got Autolite 4163 plugs, they worked ten times better. 2002 S4 1999 750
