Re: nc30 died please help.
3 things to check.
Battery
Coil packs
And rectifier/regulator.
My guess is the rectifier has had it. Check the connectors into it and see if they have burnt out or corroded.
Then give the battery a good charge and test.
Maybe that your battery is screwed too.
Could be earth strap too

Sounds like what happened to me when my Reg/Reg failed.
I'd get it to a guy who can check the whole electric system.
