Hi! New rider here.
last September, barely a month after getting my 07 FZ6, i fried my rectifier, didn’t figure out it was the rectifier until after replacing my battery and other troubleshooting, but after I replaced it, it ran fine. Until a few days ago, I got the same exact symptoms that I got just a year ago. While riding, check engine light came on, a few miles later, my dash screen went blank. Bike still running, but I pulled over and shut her off. She starts up just fine still, but will only hold a charge for a few minutes before dying. I checked the rectifier and the connecting wires once again are charred and corroded. That’s even with an anti corrosion grease I put on. Is this a common occurrence for these bikes? Do I just have shitty luck? Or is this a sign of a bigger problem that’s causing it to do this?
thanks for any help
