Hi All,
Me little trusty SV has a knackered reg/rec .. the one promised to me from a guy on the SV forums has still to materialise (and I cant see it coming anytime soon!)
Now, I have a LONG WEEKEND comin up tomorrow, and I wanna be out on the bike, but I need a reg rec obviously
Where in the NW is good for 2nd/h spares or who has a reg rec for for sale (1st gen curvy sv, two plug etc etc ) -- I'll come collect and bring pound notes !!!
Cheers
Chris
hi there chris ...
reg /rectifiers are not really model specific so if you take it off and have a run around your local parts emporiums one of them is bound to match it up from another bike ...... just checked ebay theres quite a few on there ..... also the gs 500 one fits
Thanks Dirtbiker
Looked at ebay ... few cheapies s/h at ~ 30 , few 'pattern' new parts at ~ 80 ... upon Shell's recomendation spoke to Road n Racing in Hyde who didnt have quite what I wanted, but had a brand new unit ( genuine Suzuki ) for a Gladius which they checked would fit (its a bit bigger with a bigger heat sink) re-arranged the wiring and fitted new connectors to while I waited - even got a brew and biccies : ) So I reckon I am sorted with a unit better than the dodgy units they fitted to the gen 1 SV's in the first place ...
just need to make sure the battery is OK now ...
