I have recently rebuilt a NC30 grey import. I took her out for the first ride today and must have broken down about 5 times. When trying to indicate whilst moving, the bike just completely lost drive and conked out. The battery was also full when setting off and had discharged itself within about 5 miles meaning a bump start was the only option.

Any ideas??

my money is on the rectifier is allways a good starting point,also check the block connector to it.

thanks for the tips. Are these the common symptoms?

Haha no I don't think they are normal.

I'd be checking for a short to ground somewhere, maybe the indicator wiring seeing as it conked out while you were indicating?

reg rec failure is common...and it can take the battery and genny with it - so worth checking
