Having fitted another alternator on the Sprint and a volt monitor,bike is charging so I hope that problem is sorted.

However I"m getting an oil leak through where the 3 phase wiring and grommit pass through the casing.I ve pushed it fully in, but wonder if it keeps coming out once the cover is fully on.Should it be sealed in?Seems to start leaking once hot.

Cheers Shaun
 
to add I ve taken it off and on several times,so should it have instant gasket on it?

it seems to be integral with the wiring.

That would be due to age...it should slip off but while you're at it put a new gasket in and replace the rubber. I had a similar leak last week and thought the seal was leaking but on the 120s there's no seal - i replaced the gasket and put some silicone seal on the rubber and it has stopped. when replacing the gasket you can CAREFULLY cut the loop to fit over the wiring so you don't have to disconnect them.
 
Thanks MotoV.glad to see I m not  the only one with that problem,I know its minor but surprised its not come up before.
