How does the volt meter work, what do you look for as a warning?

That’s a good price compared to OEM, the best OEM I can find is £260 from America on eBay. Anybody got any long term experience of electrexworld stator?

Anth85 what stator and R/R did you buy OEM or after market? I also need both, i’ve seen after market for sale on Wemoto but not sure how good they are.

Hi Stathis I’m probably the other poster from another forum you are talking about. The problem you describe is exactly what was happening to me and a solution wasn’t posted because I never found one. The problem stopped as suddenly as it started, I’ve done over a 1000 miles since the last event and everything has been good. In the end I put it down to dirt or crap getting into the system.

Must be an age thing, can only last couple of hours on the VFR before suffering wrist and neck fatigue so bought this CBF for longer runs.

So I've lifted the tank and noticed the air filter housing vents are in the vicinity of where the whoosh noise and smoke came from, I'm no mechanic so forgive me if I am way of the mark but their is a vacuum chamber associated with air filter housing, could this be at fault and causing the whoosh noise?

It's a fraction below the max level.

I've done 1000 miles since the last service, this happened twice and it is when the engine is idling, other than that everything looks and runs as normal. When I get some free time I'll remove the tank and do some investigating.

Can anyone help, after a long run when I pull up or come to a junction, pull the clutch in I hear a whoosh noise like a sudden release of air then the engine cuts out, smoke comes from under the tank near the handle bars. The engine will restart and I'm on my way again. Any help is appreciated.

War paint on, ready to storm the Castle

This was my first legal bike I got at 17 years old, but I started earlier than this. At 12 years old I rode my fathers 50cc step through moped on a farmers dirt track at the bottom of the street I lived. My dad got sick of having to hunt me down every time he needed the bike so he bought me a 50cc moped that I can't remember the model of. I also convinced him to bye an old lamdretta motor scooter that we found for sale. They weren't fast but for a 12 year old they felt like rockets, I had loads of fun on them and also some interesting spills on a motor scooter on a dirt track.

This was my second bike a 400 twin, I loved the looks and styling but always had slight regrets I didn't bye the 400/4 with its superior engineering.

Looks cool in white , bet it was popular.

Incredible it coped with those conditions, especially those thin tyres on sand.

I like the styling, what year was it?
