    Hi everyone.
    So my RR5 blade ate a battery in 2 years after good winter maintenance and I had suspicion of a bigger problem. I had a trip to work then flat battery at 6pm so jumped her to get mobile but as soon as I was ticking over the dash functions started flashing and so I got home pretty quickly. I put a new battery on and bugger me in a few weeks it's started again so I know there's an issue.
    A friend said firestorms had rectifier issues so I wondered if anyone else has had to replace rectifier before I go for a generator issue?
    Any advice is welcome
    Best regards H

    What year of bike is it? 04-07 have known stator problems which could be causing your problem
