    Hi,

    My Piaggio NRG 2001, which i have owned since 2004, and have done very little to it, has started to boil it's battery fluid, on journeys over 4 miles at full chat!

    I have been told it could be the rectifier, but need confirmation from people who know.

    So, 2 questions:

    1) whats causing the battery fluid to boil

    2) if it is the rectifier..............where is it?


    Thanks in advance.

    Chas

    Mines used to do it i had battery acid every where but didnt fancy messing about with electrics so i made a tube and ran it down my frame to the bottom of my bike near my petrol overflow tube so it didnt go all over my bike :D

    Thanks for your input.
    Certainly, the regular pipe is a little short, and the acid does drip onto the transmission casing, and ruin the paint work, but i'd rather rectify the problem, rather than just steer around it.
