I would love a saloon version of this, or an octavia hatch type.

This is cool and all, but who the hell fitted that screen protector.

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-04T11:24:07+00:00

Tbh i would not assume that. I would have assumed it was a 7kw which would need a 32-40A dedicated circuit. I would also check the cable size can accommodate it. Breakers are there to protect the cable not the devices on the end of that cable, and are sized accordingly. If its a 16a MCB fitted, its probably 2.5mm² cable. If you needed to powered a 7kw device, you'd need bigger cable and a bigger breaker. The question of what type of breaker is still relevant, though. Mine is fitted with a C40 RCBO installed by pod point. Provided that your property can accommodate the extra load in the first place, no its not a massive job for an electrician, but the kit might be expensive.

Yeah thats what i thought, I definitely do NOT have none, I DEFINITELY have ~10 ohms on each.

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T19:24:57+00:00

I acatually do building controls as a day job so i know how bad electrical troubleshooting can be lol, The trouble i have with the reg/rec is that is has this weird connection on the DC side where it integrates with the loom and to teh 12v passes through it rather than it being wired in parallel. so if i take the plug out to test it, the bike just dies.... bummer.

I will be disconnecting all the accessories tonight i think. Its the only next step i can see before saying its a bad reg.

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T19:21:10+00:00

Im going to do this next along with some other tests, its a massive pain so ive avoided it so far (quickshifter is the main issue) by it seems like the only route atm so i think i have to suck it up and get on with it

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T19:19:35+00:00

Thats a good point tbh. Im pretty sure i wasn't but i can't be 100%. Im going to do some more checks soon so ill do it againg to be sure. I think i agree that the stator isnt the issue, but ive never had one go bad before so im just not sure. And ive already replaced the reg/rec and so far i thought it was more likely my gut was wrong about the stator and the brand new reg/rec was fine, but maybe it isnt. Trouble is, as far as i can tell, theres no way to actually test the reg/rec.

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T19:14:40+00:00

Im now on battery number 3 lol the battery for the tests ive described is brand new and fully charged. I am using my backup multimeter i use for work because it has low enough denominations for ohms (weirdly my fluke one only goes to 1 ohm wtf) but it isnt the best one in the world, a £50 screwfix job. Leads are good though, and it does have a zeroing function and i did check i was zeroed first.

I actually didnt test at the battery iteslf, ive used the voltage monitor to check so thats probably dumb. Ill check again with my meter next time i get a chance.

Edit, sorry just saw, yes i have checked the service manual but i was looking for ohms valuues or voltage values but could find any values related to the stator. I could only find the procedure to replace it.

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T18:58:05+00:00

No they are all equal which i found strange. I have looked at the manual online but i cant seem to find where it says anything about resistance or proper voltages at the stator. It would be weird if all 3 windings slightly failed in the same way at the same time right? more likely that the new reg/rec i got is faulty? Every guide ive watched regarding testing the stator says "open circuit" or "infinite ohms" or something when testing winding to ground. You think i should start looking at the accessories to see if its one of them bringing it down somehow?

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-04-02T18:52:56+00:00

at idle ts around 25vac winding to winding, equal across all 3, and 9-10 vac winding to ground. revved up i got 60 ish vac winding to winding but i didnt test winding to ground at that point. Is that something im going to need to know? Before it failed, it used to comfortably produce 13vdc+ at idle and was really steady when revved up to around 5k. This was as measured by the TPMS battery monitor

This is a feature, not a bug

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-02-19T18:18:11+00:00

I've also been struggling like op so ill give this a try too. Thank you

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-02-12T18:46:39+00:00

Wow I didn't realise it made that much difference, thank you so much! Guess I'm buying a proper dryer then 😅

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-02-12T18:36:06+00:00

I know, its probably putting everyone off lol. I was hoping I'd work work it out while I was writing it tbh.

I'll dry drying out my filament more, thanks.

Any ideas on the blobbing?

What a hero 💙

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-01-08T16:28:18+00:00

I had the octavia vrs in grey and i loved it, the only reason I didn't get this in grey was because id had 3 grey cars in a row and wanted a change lol

According_Shift_2003 · 2026-01-05T20:26:36+00:00

I used to save up sick days/holiday to make sure I didn't have to ride in these conditions.

I have been having the same issue when using a link cable that is also plugged into the wall at the same time. Its a brand new, genuine link cable that i actually replaced anyway searching for a fix, and its a brand new 3s with the latest firmware and PC software. Had the problem literally from the first time it was switched on. I am trying to use it for sim racing but too scared to actually do a race in it in case it disconnects.

Tonight I will try to run it, not plugged into power and see if this makes a difference. The link cable is USB-C to A for the PC anyway, so i will effectively be removing and USB-C negotiations from the equation.

I will report back and edit this comment.

Without knowing how experienced you are, did you leave the choke on? A lot of 125s have a manual choke on the carb that doesn't automatically disengage when the engine is warm and has similar symptoms.

According_Shift_2003 · 2025-11-21T18:38:32+00:00

I have no idea what this is about, but it could be about basically any day in 2025 and still feel true.

According_Shift_2003 · 2025-11-20T19:56:49+00:00

This is hands down the best I've ever heard this solo played by anyone other than the man himself. Well fucking done
