It can be fuel or electrical.

You definitely have an electrical problem and you may also have a fuel problem.  Solve the problem you know you have first.  After you resolve your known problem you can start a new thread on any other problem you might uncover.

Don't start a new thread for every perceived problem.
You're not experienced enough to know for sure you've solved a problem and not caused another.
Or maybe even an intermittent problem that comes back later.
I want to know back history.

Can someone find the thread about using a GSXR reg/rec. Isn't it supposed to be cheaper and easier to find than one for our bikes?

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

$23 well spent.  When you change it, be sure you've got a good battery.  The swap will take you less than 5 minutes.

ok took my seat off and then realized that one clip is there buy one is hardwired instead of using a clip.

is it going to be as easy as cutting the three wires, cutting off end with clip and splicing them together???

So....is this hardwire affair because somebody moved the rectifier off the fender?

Do the wire colors on both ends of the white wires match up?

ok I'm asking this as a YouTube learner and I've come a long way but have a q about cutting the three butt connectors off the wires, can I use either sets of these to connect them to the new regulator?
and I have no idea why my pics are all upsidedown lol
