broke!

I'm currently at a motorway service station waiting for recovery as the ten has broke down. Was going down the motorway when the engine light came on, then about 25 miles later I got a 4k error code, then the needle fell to zero and stayed there.

Carried on and the bike was chugging, just about made it t the services. Slowed down and stalled, hit the starter and you get......click,click,click,click. So totally dead battery.

So.....I take it I've suffered the reg/rec problem?

Certainly sounds like it...I hope Yamaha are aware of how regular this is occurring.

Yep, it seems like yet another regulator failure.

That's a real arse. I assume you must be well out of warranty as your bike's a Khaki one? Looks like you might have to start trawling eBay for an FZ600 reg/rect unit and so the Stoic mod.

Nice to know the symptoms if it turns out the way we all think... I just received a second hand regulator in the post yesterday from a Fazer(thanks for the info Stoic) so the only thing to do this week is to test that it works and stash it somewhere on the moto...perhaps under the rear of the seat using the existing elastic rubber that is there?

I hope you get it all sorted out...keep us posted as whether it was that or something else?

Just got home via the AA,.going to charge the battery and hopefully get the hike started then test it to see if its charging (im not good with elecs)

I had read about this failure but I didn't realise you got the engine light on 1st, and then a 4k error code?

Best read up about this mod a bit more then, I actually have a fazer but its thou not a 600.

Is this a problem with the Ten only, or does it effect R & X models also??

Intriguing though. Khaki bike means that, as far as I know, it's still only 2008 bikes that have had the failure. Strange that it's taken so long to happen though, most of the others went fairly early on as far as I remember.
