ahh - good question. wire that you would use to earth the battery. i never thought to ask, or that there was so many different wires

as soon as i earthed the reg to block the electrical issues stopped.

make sure you earth the regulator direct to the engine block - use 10 amp wire. trust me on this.

update - figured it out. anyone got a spare stator rotor for sale?

hey @docc i would like to, but US postage to Australia is still obscene, extra $120 to get it here plus the unfriendly exchange rates. . i can get the stator rewound locally for $150 so i will take that option. more upset about knocking a fin off the rotor, getting a replacement will be pricey. how do i get that Rotor nut off? is it a right hand thread?

I broke a fin off the rotor and wrecked my stator. Not the day I was planning.

https://imgur.com/a/IGIG9Ks how do you take these stators off? May as well get it rewound. Special tools or tricks?

and now.... well i didnt route the stator wires properly... so now i need my stator repaired.

so i checked the clutch connections, all good. checked the stator, it read fine, changed out relay two and charged the battery, she starts and lives again. this is leading me to think i have a bad regulator. i will check that today and see where i am at.

i would never of thought to look at the clutch switch - i will take a look today. thank you. i'll get some new relays too

i'm riding/ resoting a 2002 Scura. last Sunday i went out to ride with a mate, rode about 30ks - bike going like a clock. Jumped off at his place, maybe 45 mins, got back on the bike, dead. no battery at all. checked the fuses, relays - all good. the dash would light up but the starter just spun. jump started the bike of his car and good to go again. 20 mins of gentle city riding and i decide to head for home. As i was riding the tach stopped working, then the lights and then at 110ks on a four lane highway the bike dies. bit scary and 3 hour wait for a tow truck home. checked the bike over today the battery has charge, 12.6, the stator checked ok by my multimeter. still not starting, just spinning and clicking. i guess the rectifier has fried? not sure what to check next.

did you ever get this sorted? i'm having the same issues now.

will do.

after much much more messing around, downloading and updating drivers, reading and re-reading beetles instructions i am just where i started. For reasons i cannot figure out i cannot successfully connect to the ECU. Next step i guess is to find someone local with cables and see if its my cables and computer or the ECU.

thank you - i'll try flicking the kill switch and see if that makes any difference. I've been trying different combinations of cables and re-installed the drivers but i cannot get the ECU to connect to the computer. each time i try the fuel pump primes. I have tried the reader and the guzzidiag applications, doesnt seem to make any difference. bike is a 2002 scura, i'm pretty sure people have been in the ECU before. there is difference in number on the physical ECU to the numbers on the diag, i was wondering if that could be the problem? the ecu on the bike is IAW15m - C5 and on the listing on the diag it is IAW 15M PF3C. i'll check with the kill switch off and on and report back
