Help with charging problem.

[Robh1664]

Hi all,
hope I'm in the right section...... I parked my '92 R100GS up a couple of days ago. I went out to start it up for a mate who came around my house yesterday, on his o-so-new R1200GS Adventure. Low and behold, the red charge warning light was glowing and stayed on, even with a blip of the throttle. I've only ridden it for 60 miles so far (extreme decorating, don't ask) so it's an unknown quantity.

Can anyone suggest what to look for as regards sorting it out.

I've forgotten anything I ever learnt about electrics years back.

Just been and fired up the beast and the light stayed off, any idea !

Cheers

Rob.

Battery terminals need a good clean?

OK,
I'll have a look. Cheers. (Just done 20 miles and no charge fault showing)

relay

check the relays under the tank . one of mine was loose . pushed it back in and the light went out . think it was the load shedding relay .

Thanks Toadjam, it seems you were spot on with your idea. All sorted.
