Hey guys, so I was riding on the highway and all of a sudden my ninja wouldn't accelerate. Then it slowly started decelerating and shut off. I tried to start it back up, it would turn on, but when I press the ignition it would just make the ignition noise of the engine revving up but not start the bike. Tried it with the choke and everything, and tried it every 20 minutes.

I thought my battery died but when I called roadside assistance to jump the battery, that wouldn't get the engine to start either.

I was told it may be either a bad relay or rectifier.

My question is, does the problem I describe seem like a symptom of a bad relay/rectifier. Is it hard to replace them?
