my 2007 1098s cut out on me while out for a ride and i found the problem straight away. the connectors from the generator to the rec/reg are fried and possibly the rec/reg is faulty now. the connectors had some oil on them from a previous oil leak and so did the connectors for the sidestand. i have cleaned the area of all oil and renewed one of the sidestand connectors. i have cut out the fried connectors and reconnected using singles. the advise given on previous posts recommends using a MOSFET reg/rec. i did the recall for changing the rec/reg ,heat shield and have done 16 K since then. the yellow warning light is on with error CAN 38.0 but when i press on the down button for 3 seconds nothing is happening. code should appear to cancel the error message. the bike is in neutral but there is no green light,but maybe this is to do with the error message on the dash. i have fitted the original rec/reg to check the newer one has not been damaged but i still cannot access the screen that says, code, to cancel the error message. lastly, does it matter which way i connect the 3 wires from generator to reg/rec ?.
