Has she passed her re-test already??

[Carbon_ZX6R]

she has yet to have a letter of some sort saying her licence is revoked.... she needs the bike to work so she can sell it

I had this on my vfr400. The rectifier / regulator unit had failed causing the battery to overheat. That wouldn't run without the battery properly. New battery and rectifier and it was fine. Might be the same on the r6

its what we was thinking but don't wanna buy it and find out its not the problem as shes said its been running crap and I was under the impression that they just blow no warning

There are a few ways they can go,  so it's not so clear cut as that I'm afraid.

If she needs it sold then either buy the reg/recc and possibly a cdi unit, as this sounds like another possibility, or sell it as is.

How else you going to find out?

they must be cheap to pick up on eBay?

[Carbon_ZX6R]

she's had a mechanic tell her a whole bunch of possibility's hence my apprehension

[David W]

Start with the cheapest and keep swapping in new parts until it's fixed.

its what im going to do she wants to put it in a garage which will cost a lot more as the fault find...

I know she wants back what she paid for it as there ain't a scratch on it but she wont get it....
