elsiboy Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Have just bought a 2005 TXT PRO from a mate and after the first outing it would no longer start! After checking all the usual stuff I decided to get it down to the mechanics who identified that the regulator had burned out. Then the saga starts! The regulator is the Ducati Energia version 1 module fitted to the 2004 - 2005 300 pros - the one with the blue end to the connector block. Unfortunately I am struggling to get a replacement . I just got off the phone with the guys at Gas Gas Moto in Buxton who tell me that despite being on order from GasGas Es. for two months, no Version 1 regulators have yet turned up. However, they have supplied me with a Version 2 unit (with the black end) but this doesn''t fit the connector on the Stator wiring. I have tried Maplin, RS and Ducati but non of them use the same connector system !!!!!!!!!! I am now awaiting feedback from GasGas Es. on whether or not the part is obsolete. Have any of you guys had the same problem? Do any of you know where to source the connector or regulator? I don't suppose it is the end of the world because I could just cut off connector block and fit extensions with micro spades but this is a bodge that I would like to avoid. Cheers!

blocky Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 If I were you, i'd use those little blue cramp connectors. Cut the wires from your old regulator and refit the plug to the loom so that the old regulator wires are hanging loose. Connect the new regulator to them using the blue blocks and then wrap some insulating tape around each connector. A bodge I know but at least it will be reasonably neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grib Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Would be better to solder the wires together and use adhesive lined heatshrink tube to insulate the joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 If you end up cutting the loom,Gribs way is the only way to do it reliably,or is it possible to get the later loom as well and solder it to your stator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinner Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Take the wires out of the connetor on the old regulator and use it on the new one. I had to do the same thing on my son's bike. Use a small pin punch or similar tool to remove the wire ends from the connector 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsiboy Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I should get an answer from Spain this week and if the part is not available I think I will go for the connector swap as Plan A. Spinner, Are the pins on the Version 2 regulator in the same order as the Version 1? They look the same on the wiring diagram I have. It looks like the connector block is glued to the side of the regulator did you just cut it off? Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinner Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Sorry I should have checked the wiring diagrams before I spoke. My sons bike was an 03 and it was the DC inverter that went bad not the regualtor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsiboy Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cheers Spinner. Looked at the regulator after I replied to you and decided it was an impossible job anyway. Summary so far is: There are no blue ended version 2 regulators in England and gasgas Es don't have any on the shelf. They are on order from Ducati Energia and should be at the factory at the beginning of Feb. No one can point me in the direction of a suitable connector block for the Version 2 regulator but have decided to wait rather than chop the loom, assuming that the proper regulator will turn up in the next two or three weeks. Just as well that I haven't flogged the old Sherco yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw74gls Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi could you please tell me how you tested the regulator please and what readings I should be getting as I have a no spark issue also, many thanks simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
