I have 2006 S4R.... have had since new, love my bike no problem's till now. Electrical issues hopefully its not sirious.
I stopped to get fuel after long ride, hoped back on after paying for fuel and nothing not even a click, I took the seat off to investergate and the regulator was very hot, not going anywere so i trucked it home only 5klm luckily, the first thing is battery and yes it was dead so replaced that, still nothing but also with the key in the off position the regulator was getting hot, I immediately disconnected the possitive lead then took the R/R out.... connected the battery back up, the dash come on and turned the key, there is a click from starter motor but nothing else.
Questions are 1) Is it normal for the R/R to get hot with the key in off position
2) Can i test the starter motor in the bike
3) Have i damaged any other components
after reading some of the post's on Ducati forum it sounds like i may need to upgrade the wireing from stater, or is this just provention ?
Regards Rob
