New battery but still not charging. Is the
Rectifier should be seperate and normally are about the size of the palm of your hand and have fins like a radiator. From your stator check for A/C voltage coming from your stator. No power = bad stator. If you have power check for bad grounds for rectifier or replace rectifier. 1st thing though is to check your battery cables...
Having trouble bleeding the front breaks
Bleeding the brakes can take a while as the amount actually squirted throught the pump is tiny. the best thing I have found is to go to halfords and buy a bleeding kit which has a one way valve ( not the orange pipe and plug). You then slaken the bleed valve slightly ,attach the hose to the nipple and put the other end in a container to save the fluid that you will be pumping out. Then open your brake fluid reservior on your handal bars and get pumping with the lever, making sure the reservior never runs out of fluid by keeping it topped up. When there is just pure fluid coming out of the bleed valve(no air bubbles in the fluid) tighten the bleed nipple. job done. It really does trake a long time especially if you have an air lock, builds your arm muscles up.
another way is to pull the lever fully in and tie it off on the bars and leave it for 24 hrs, also heating the claiper with a hair dryer causes the air to rise up the pipe and back into the reservoir.
Chain
Yes, All motorcycle chains currently being manufactured use Buna-N (Nitrile) rubber for their o-rings and x-rings, and all these manufacturers recommend kerosene as a cleaner.
Here's the formulation of WD-40:
80% Stoddard Solvent (that is similar to kerosene)
20% light lubricating oil, and a bit of fragrance.
Here's the compatibility of Stoddard Solvent with rubbers and plastics:
Good Compatibility (OK for both static and dynamic seals)
Buna-N (Nitrile)
Chemraz
Epichlorohydrin
Fluorocarbon
Fluorosilicone
Kalrez
Nitrile, hydrogenated
Polyacrylate
Teflon, virgin
Mixed Compatibility (OK for static seals, but not for dynamic seals)
Neoprene
Vamac
Fair Compatibility (OK for some static seals)
Polysulfide
Polyurethane, millable
Poor Compatibility
Butyl
Ethylene-Propylene
Hypalon
Natural rubber
Silicone
Styrene Butadiene
Consequently, WD-40 is safe and effective as a chain cleaner and corrosion inhibitor.

If you clean with a soft brush and WD-40, and plan to follow-up with a chain lube, you can reduce chain lube sling-off if you first remove the oil residue that WD-40 leaves. This residue seems to prevent some chain lube formulations from sticking well to the chain.
