Right if you can start the bike once you have charged the battery this is how to test rectifier without paying if its faulty it will give the bike to much voltage and will pop the bulbs if it don't do that it will go the other way n your break light or even just normal rear light will flicker wen idling as all the rectifier does is gives you a consistent voltage feed of example say 48 volts and it shouldn't drop any lower. If you can't get lights at all without being on charge your rectifier is definatley knackered as that shows it isn't sending any power/voltage to your lights as there ay nothing else that your lights would work off except the stator/generator you may have worn bushes the copper rolls round the stator or even a bad connection try that is ok its defo rectifier

SOURCE: Battery on 125cc Suzuki GS is ok- but not being charged

You need to have stator coil tested.
An alternate problem could be the regulator/rectifier.
Both of these should tbe checked by a dealer

SOURCE: the bike starts one day and not the next it is a suzuki vl800

There is a switch down on the kick stand, if the kick stand is in the right position it is not going to let the bike start, letting out on the clutch a little may override that switch, ck this first see if it is loose or out
of its socket, then ck the wires to the switch.

SOURCE: I have a 2001 Suzuki SV650.

The same thing happened to me (2002 sv650) and it turned out to be the voltage regulator. Check it.

Why won't my lights work

It sounds like your alternator is not charging the battery. Fit a new battery remember to undo negative lead first to remove and fit positive lead first to refit the battery. When the new battery is filled please charge it using less than 1 Amp DO NOT use a car charger or try to jump start it. Your new battery should show 12.5 to 13 volts on a meter for a 12 volt system and 6.3 to near 7 volts for a 6 volt system. Start the scooter and check across the battery terminals your meter should show about 14.4 V for 12 volt battery and about 7.5 V for a 6 Volt one. No voltage increase means your charging circuit is not working. Either the alternator or rectifier(regulator) are not operating correctly. Worst case scenario is both units dead.

My hitachi UC24YJ battery charger stopped working--no lights, no nothing

There is a fuse inside. The fuse plugs into a socket holder. The value I think is 7 amp. Verify it is good or replace with the value listed by the fuse holder. Also sometimes if the charger has an overload due to a bad battery, unplug the charger and wait about an hour then plug it in again, It might just start working

Fuel injection

My 2007 FLHX has had problems starting and today it died as I was going thought the gears hard, the same thing I found from the starting problem, if you push up on the what used to be called the pet cock you can here the fuel pressure release and my bike starts right up. I think I have fuel regulator problem.

I just bought the Lithium - ion batteries for replacement for my 18.0 volt ni-cad battery. when I put it (ion battery) in the charger (ni-cad charger) no lights come on. what's up?

Lithium Ion batteries don't charge the same way ni-cads or ni-mh do. You need a lithium ion specific charger to charge them. (Some chargers do multiple types.)

The bike was running fine in the evening. Rode to work parked the bike took the key out. The battery was dead in the morning. Put the 10 amp charger on and the motor started to turn over with the key off!...

your starter button is malfunctioning. maybe some oxidation in the switch. when starter button is pressed in that can cause your other electrical stuff to not work.
