I would like to say a huge thank you to the member who performed a U turn to enquire into my plight. With no easy solution to my issue I carried on pushing and he went on his merry way.

As soon as I saw it, I wanted ...

Theres an old saying... "Ducati, making mechanics out of riders since...blah"
Well, its not just for Ducati riders.

I have 3 road bikes. The 109, the A100, and Goose - the GPz750.
As it currently stands:
The 109 is off the road with a dead regulator/rectifier
The A100 is off the road with...well, a dead engine (still havent split the cases)
And Goose has only just recovered from a stripped out Cam Chain tensioner bolt and a loose Magneto magnet pack and ...
