    Ah, so what's wrong with the 700?

    Anyone want a project bike??? Strangely, the manual with the 750 could provide some leads to fixing the 700... Here's hoping!

    I'll post up some piccies when the clean and polish is all done. Jon, I believe you missed a couple of spots when you hosed her down
    nice

    enjoy mate....

    Yeah, sorry about that Swoop! I did a quick cleanup when we finished the tour. Was pretty tired...

    Cutting out.
    Have replaced the CDI unit and am currently looking at the pulse generators.
    Slowly eliminating potential areas...

    If you look at jbauer's flikr link, there's a guy there says to always have a spare after-market regulator/rectifier with you. He had them go bad on a 91 and a 97. Sound about right for your problem?

    Hmm. I had the reg/rec replaced along with the battery a year or so back, so was really discounting this. I will put it back on the "possibilities" list since I want to get her back up and running reliably!
    She runs for about 8-9kms then gives up the ghost. Once a nice rest has been had (and cooled down) she fires up and off we go again!
    Does temperature and reg/rec sound possible? I am wondering...

    Ask me stuff like that about rally cars and I could give you a sensible answer (well it would sound sensible anyway). About bikes ... I could really screw yer bike up!

    Nah doesn't sound like reg/rec, that causes you battery trouble, not cutting out like you are talking.
    Cheers
