i thort i should open up a new topic ( as people say get your own thred ) so basicly as u no that my bike is running crap as sum people already no the problems are that my lights dim it only revs up to about 6000 to 7000 revs and then cuts out normaly the other things is that i brought a new batery and it goes flat in a matter of days, so i check the VT just be 4 i took it off as it said that it was 10.5 on the VT multimeter so i put it on charge i changed the old petrol tank and put a new one on as the old one was all crushed due to a crash at 60MPH

sum people have been sayin it might be the regulator/rectifer or the alternator i think if anyone has any info on wot might be the problem i will be a verry verry verry happy man

as everyone has said.
Check your electrical system.
it is VERY common on these bikes that the Reg / Rec breaks, this stops charging your battery and your battery discharges which stops your bike running, along with your headlights etc.
Somebody already posted a step by step guide as a reply in one of your other posts on how to check the charging system on the bike.

Reg rec is faulty or the gene coil windings have shorted.
so replace the reg rec first. and if that still doesnt fix the issue then i bet its the gene.
Also, not being funny but every single post of yours needs to be read around 10 times before i can make head or tail out of it. perhaps its my age, or my lack of street cred or being hip with the kids, however as a tip, you may get more help if people can understand what you write if its not in txt speak innit.

thats because that is what the problem is 99.9% likely to be....
have you gone through the step by step instructions to test the charging system?? start at the beginning and you will solve the issue
if your new battery has died after a few days it is OBVIOUS there is a charging issue. get the multimeter out again and start from the beginning of the step by step instructions

This is really like talking to a brick wall.
If your battery is going flat and your lights are dim your reg/rec and possibly altenator are broken, it's a known and common problem with these bikes, it happens to every single one. messing about with other stuff isn't going to help.
If the bike isn't getting petrol properly i said in one of your other threads the vaccumn pipe is the most likely problem, they turn the tap on when the engine is cranked (even if it is set to on no fuel will come out until the vaccum pipe suck the tap)
Check this isn't broken / split
