Today, MY BIKE STALLED ON ME FOR THE FIRST TIME.. CHECK THE GAS>good CHECK THE OIL>GOOD. I think its the infamous rectifier... how do u check the rectifier or the charging system?

 

would have to use a amp/voltage meter.. i would tell you how but i dont have services book here

 

Its the finned gadget on the right side of the bike. First disconnect it and check it visually, if it burned out it will most likely have burn marks. If no signs are present, turn on the bike with the rectifier connected and use a voltmeter to check voltages through the back of the harness connector. You need the manual for exact voltages, but it most likely either works or doesn't so if you are getting voltages it is most likely not broken, plus I dont think the rectifier has much to do with stalling. That sounds more mechanical. The rectifier really controls the bikes starting systems as far as I know, I may be wrong.

 

How did the bike stall? I have had a similer issue. My bike stalled on me when I was in heavy traffic and it was extremely hot outside. The bike wasn't reving at all because I was stuck in traffic for about 30-45 minutes, then it died. I tried starting it but starter wasn't kicking on at all. Luckly it died right next to motor assist truck. I pulled over and the motor assist guy charged up my battery, then it started up and I scooted right back into the traffic jam, but this time I kept the bike reved.

The guy I bought my bike from said that If I leave the bike sitting around for a couple of weeks, the battery will die. He blamed that on the rectifier going bad. I don't know if F3s have to be reved in order to charge the battery or the rectifier on my bike is going out which is causing the battery not to charge well in idle.

My point is if your bike died like mine then I would guess its the rectifier. I keep my bike on a trickel charger at all times, and it keeps the battery charged and ready to go. Try charging your battery from your car, you can do that as long as your car is NOT RUNNING. If you wana check your rect, see the instructions below.
