I can't get rid of the plug as it connects to the regulator rectifier (which is a box with 2 sockets) so it has to stay.

Wish i'd noticed this last night before I did it myself as i'm sure you would have done a better job. I rebuilt the bike today along with changing the sparks & a few other bits n bobs. Checked the battery voltage with the engine running & it's sorted. Took the bike for a test ride but noticed a leak from the generator casing, stopped for a look and there's a small crack near one of the bolts so I must have over torqued it. Barstewarding Yamaha obviously made them out of cheese.

Limped home with an oily back tyre & now i'm playing the waiting game till I receive a new casing.

Bad luck Rowan, hope you get it sorted out soon.

Go and hit the JD.

So over torqued generator casings and the famous over torqued, screw driver bending oil filter.

Im sure operator error could be the symptom.

Yup, definitely operator error this time but i'm not taking blame for the oil filter incident.
