GSXR 750 Problem

    Hi, mate has an 07 750 and it wouldn't start the other day and F1 light was on.

    He got a battery for it and it started no bother. I put a multimeter on it and it does not appear to be charging. Only getting 12.1 volts at the battery.

    All the fuses appear ok and the leads look good.

    Any words of wisdom for me?

    Qualified mechanic but never worked on bikes...

    12.1 at idle or at ~3k RPM?

    Bit low I think, reg/rec on the way out maybe (do the new GSXRs have reg/recs?)

    I don't know, was kinda hoping someone would be able to tell me.

    I think that the 12v I am getting is just what the battery is supplying. I told him to leave it running with the lights on and that I'd check to see was the voltage dropping.

    I am assuming that you need 13 + volts to charge

    Yup, over 13 volts with lights on

    If it's anything like my Gixxer 600, it should be charging 14V at 6k revs. Dunno about the 07 models, but definitely a charging circuit problem. Did you get your hands on a Haynes manual?

    I'd be about 99% that that's the issue - quick fix, much easier than on a car. Plug out old, plug in new.

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Thanks for that.

    I should be able to get one off another bike to try it. Where is it located?

    On my SV it's behind the tail unit, on the right side of the bike
