So seriously impenetrable then?That's what I'm after chas, The ECU is locked up tighter than Jez's wallet, nobody can gain access so the FuelX pro is the only (limited) option ...for now

Hi all,I’ve started the bike a few times recently and noticed a miss fire on one cylinder (Bonnie 07 carb).
I’ve left it on the optimate and was surprised to see how long it took to get back to fully charged.
It was running perfectly before so wandering if it could be a dodgy rectifier or something else?

Would be more like coils I think. If you've started her regularly but not let her run for a reasonable length of time then each start will drain the battery if you don't run long enough to re-charge it so the battery probably doesn't relate to the problem. When my coils were going the bike would stutter, bang and bog down when the throttle was twisted. Hard to diagnose a misfire as it's a single coil pack that fires in both cylinders at the same time (wasted spark system) and, when the coils become intermittent fuel will build up in one or both cylinders resulting in a bang/misfire next time the coils generate a decent spark.

Marty's lines of thought above would be my take too, doesn't sound like reg/rec to me.

Had identical symptoms on my former 2007 T100. It was often worst below 3k rpm for some odd reason. I eventually isolated it to the ignition coil and replaced it with
https://www.motobins.co.ukMoto bins are Beemer spares but the 356 1 00 is a direct replacement for the Gill item and at £51 the cheapest I found.
It could be the pick up coil (Triumph only) but they seem to die rather than misfire before tot expiry.

I bought 3 new generic coils on ebay, for £8 each, inc delivery. All good 5,000 miles later.

Got a multimeter? You should get something like .7 ohms between the tabs and about 17k on the HT side. Trouble is, they can read healthy and still play up under load.

Took advantage of the lull before the storm and rode up to the smoke this morning in glorious sunshine - except Tunbridge Wells where it rained
All the little bits of tinkering to the bike have added up to a much more confident assured and comfortable ride
Glorious and bike now covered in shit as it should be

I cleaned mine yesterday. Now the fucking thing is missing and farting around. Maybe the jet washer wasn't a good ideaTook advantage of the lull before the storm and rode up to the smoke this morning in glorious sunshine - except Tunbridge Wells where it rained

Cleaning is definitely a bad thing for a motorsickle! Wipe the bodywork gently with a dirty rag and that's all they need. All the other muck is electrical insulation and mechanical sealant.

I am not the toothbrush and cotton bud type. But i do like a clean and shiney bike. A hose down, and polish when the spring arrives, then just a polish every now and again, is normal. But my brother was cleaning his Land Rover, and decided to give my bike a going over with his jet washer. The twat. I got it parked in the sun all day. So maybe it will be ok tomorrow.

Still, on the bright side if the power lines are down you’re brother won’t be able to jet wash you’re bike again
