It's totally stuffed. Give you 3 bananas for it.

A bad ignition switch will do the same.

What a crappy day, huh? I had a worn battery wire shorting out when I first got mine. A simple fix, but a bugger to find!! (Had a LOT of help from here, though).

Good luck, hoping it's a dead RR or loose connection!!

What's an RR?

Regulator/Rectifier.

I would seriously doubt that the charging circuit failing would cause a "dead break" as would seem to be the case.

Fingers crossed it's simple. But finding it may be time consuming.

I call his majesty @DEcosse to the consulting room.

I was going to hit the like button, but did not seem appropriate.
Last week mine just shut off dead while going down the road. Turned kill switch off then on, fired back up, has not done it since??!!
Good luck figuring it out!!

Mine has done that ever since new.
Usually two to three times a season.

A tragedy. Mostly, I think, where you were. Bugger pushing up hill and getting RACQ types. 5 Bananas and a case of cherries ...... they are just coming on and sweet as hell with the low rainfall down here.

Strange stuff there. The wrecked Rocket I recently bought, has the gauges stuck in EXACTLY the same place. Wonder what causes that?
