Have not long arrived home ... on the back of a recovery truck!
Lane three M20, making good progress and suddenly the speedo starts going mental, followed by the rev counter, followed by lights going off and speedo/rev counter dropping to resting position. Engine continues to run and I manage to cross three lanes under power and off at the first available junction, which happened to be my usual exit point from the motorway. Get to top of ramp, engine dies and leaves me with just enough momentum to clear the junction and get to the kerb. Tried to restart but dead as a dodo! Push bike to safe place, grab a breather and try again to restart...zilch! Check fuses, all tickety boo!
Is this the dreaded regulator/rectifier curse or maybe even a generator failure? I have no immediate access to a multi-meter or likewise.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Edit:Forgot to add that this is a 98 carb model.
