Ha ha, I'm going to show my age now. I've got some pictures of Senna in the Toleman, I think, during a tyre practice day for the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, it was the first time I had seen him "live" as it were, it was obvious to everyone there that he was potentially head and shoulders above the others, won't forget that day as I knew we had seen someone really special. Must see if I can find the pictures Saw the film at the Cinema when it came out a while back, he still makes an impression on people who don't really follow motorsport as even Joy really enjoyed it

Have a very Happy Birthday Vik, with lots of love from Joy and I

I don't know enough about bikes either, but from a time scale of events perspective it looks like the dealer had a "free hand" to do whatever he wanted from quite an early stage. Is a phone call to Citizens Advice worth a go, or google with regards to rights of ownership? As far as I understand your mate has legal claim to the bike as he has a receipt/invoice, your difficulty is not knowing, perhaps, exactly what was agreed between your mate and the dealer. The dealer may well have tried to contact him but was unable to do so and will use that as justification for doing what ever he has done. The more I think about it the more I think you and your buddy need some proper advice. Very weird. I think he said he couldn't collect it very soon after he bought it ... abotu 2-3 weeks? Hard to get hold of him to ask as he is working in the middle of nowhere in India at the mo. By mate isn't back in the country for another couple of months. I think I may be passing the dealers next week when I am out on site, so I may pop in for a walk about. Problem is, I could be balshy easily with a car dealer, but I have NO idea when it comes to bikes. I took and passed my CBT years ago (expired now) but I know nothing about bikes! I know an R1 is a quick motor (could I go in saying I am looking for a donor for my kit car project?)

When did you mate let him know he wouldn't be collecting the bike? I reckon the dealer sold the bike 5 months ago and hasn't said anything until now, not so decent of him, if that is the case it wasn't so hard to sell after all. Ask to see the R1 too, maybe he took the R1 in p/x for the Aprilla Good luck with it, I don't envy you as there are so many permutations, of course I maybe wrong and there might be a perfectly good explanation, in any event I think you should visit unannounced ASAP.

Welcome

If alternator voltage output rises to or above 15v it can indeed be caused by a faulty voltage regulator.

This thread seems to indicate that it's in the tailgate somewhere,:- viewtopic.php?f=10&t=53535 that would seem to make sense, think I might have the trim off and find out. EDIT Found the little bugger
