Need Help Identifying Loose Tubes

I'll be honest I have no idea what either of those are but the battery connections were solid and so were all parts they were connected to that I could see including the little box next to the battery if that's what it is, (electrics is not my strong point unfortunately) hopefully I'll have more info if I can find my multimeter to morrow but I'll keep you posted

 

It's a 2006 also I have now ordered a new multimeter so I should have it delivered tomorrow

 

Ahh great thankyou that will help massively

 

I received my new dummy proof multimeter today and tested the battery, first pic is just after I took it off trickle charge 13.38v then I turned the bike on and got the second pic 12.49v then I waited till the bike warmed up for a few minutes and again got 12.49v and a minute or so later I got 12.44 then I done the test whilst reving which I took a video of, link is below

Then I turned the bike off and took a video of what was happening which also shows the battery, that video is below (just to say the part next to the battery was seated properly and did have a cover over it but I took it out so I could see the fuse which looks ok)

Then the last 3 pics I took (about every minute of so) were of what was happening to the voltage while the bike was off and cooling down then the last one with the screen illuminated was after 15minutes.

From what you guys have said it looks like the voltage is climbing even while off which confuses the hell out of me

I hope this makes sense to someone but if there is anything I messed out which may help let me know please

 

No to be honest it wasn't till you sent me that exploded diagram that I even knew what one was but Unfortunately I'm staying away for a few days now so don't have access to do any more tests yet so I'll do some research on where it is and check the connections and hopefully a guide on how to test it, also to be honest I don't think I'd wanna take it out again after being stranded twice, I don't have the space around my house and the owner of the van that was used to recover it has gone on holiday so too risky

Would it be ok (because I left the trickle charger off) if the voltage was tested tomorrow as that would be over 30 mins or does it need to be closer to the 30 mins mark so the voltage does not drop too low?

Also is this something that a diagnostic machine would pick up because If that can do tell me what's wrong it might be worth me trying to find one, I know I bought a Bluetooth one for my car and told me all sorts of info

 

Ahh ok I'll see if I can got hold of a reading tomorrow of what the battery is sitting at after being left off charge for a day just for the extra date till I can get back to it and will look into the alternator, rectifier, and regulator thanks

 

To be honest I can't remember which lights came on but I believe I took a video earlier in this chat which showed me attempting to start the bike and it is doing the same thing but once the bike is charged using my battery charger then it runs fine and does not come up with any lights until it fails again but thank you for the extra info I will check out the diagnostic tool that you mentioned but I agree I think it may be a little early if it has been narrowed down to one of those two parts then testing that will probably give me more information than the diagnostic will

 

Hey guys I have just redone the tests after still not being on trickle charge since my last test on friday and the results were
13.13v before starting
12.35v after starting whilst still cold
12.30v after warmed up then the video shows me reving the bike and it cut out while I was filming then I took a picture of the dash after the bike had cut out (apologies for the talking in the vid I had someone help record to make sure I could film and hold multimeter secure whilst reving)

No sorry I have only just got back so I havnt had a chance to take it apart yet but that will be my next priority thankyou

Edit - I have just found where it is on the bike but I need to take the faring off to check it so will do that tomorrow, thankyou for reminding me

 

Hey Boothman I managed to take the fairing off and took a few quick pics but looks ok tho the connections are dirty they are solid and clean on the inside, not sure where I would need to place the multimeter to do a continuity test

 

OK so I think the main question now is, is there a way to test the stator/alternator (seems like the same part from most of the diagrams) and same for the regulator/rectifier or am I better off replacing both to be safe, in which case is there a preferred aftermarket one because i have found many on eBay but they seem a bit too cheap to be trusted
