If it does turn out to be a generator issue and fixitsan can't find his, have a hunt around the knowledgebase on here. Someone (probably MarkyMark, Celtic Biker or Matlock) found somewhere that would rewind them when they failed on high mileage 900's

Was there a windy thing in one of the box of bits you gave me dabbers?
I think that was robin seem to rember he stopped a long time ago, though there are a few places that will do'em.
I'm not sure it was me, I did have it replaced on my old niner but that was quite a while ago - I've checked and cant find any mails

WEMOTO have the Electrex one with new gaskit for just over £108 delivered so makes more sense to buy new since other option was getting it rebuilt but was £150 upward.
Must admit its the only part of electrics that hasn't been replaced so better be the problem

All symptoms point to it now, low revs = low voltage = electronic ignition won't operate.
Same fault my 900 had when I got it, except it was intermittent at first.

Ages ago indeed dabs..a year!!
Havent had time (even down to one job) to dig through stuff. I know I have a few but dunno if ok or not. Sounds like op gonna get new juan anyways maybe?
Well if you come across it sometime, it's not got the 3 wire connected but the wires may well be with it, took it abroad on the 9r in case i needed a quick swap. If i should come across it i'll let you know, save you a search.

Generator finally fitted and seems to be charging and not going below 12v with headlights and indicators on start up.
BUT ITS STILL FUCKED!
Starts rough with misfire on one cyclinder then clears then after 10-20 min goes back to misfire. 
Seems one step forward 10 back with this fecking bike
ONLY thing electrical NOT changed is the ECU now.
List so far:
Full carbs rebuild twice.
New fuel pump.
New regulator/rectifier.
New ignition coil
New battery
New plugs.
Valve clearance checked and adjusted.
New shims
New Stator/Charger
New fuses

Have you opened every electrical connector, checked for any corrosion, and sprayed with a contact cleaner before remaking ?

Fitted CDI unit from dablik 
So far no misfire and its charging properly 
Haven't given it a good run yet since MOT ran out in March so maiden voyage will be to MOT station. 
THEN hopefully now EVERTHING has been changed i'll finally have a reliable bike i can start to enjoy for first time in 3 years

Passed MOT and Finally seems to be running properly on the short run to garage
Although strongly advised to replace rear shock since has virtually no dampening left. Also need to move regulator and gear leave since seems I set it too low and had fun getting toes under to change up.
