I started getting odd electrical faults and traced it to the alternator. I dropped the alternator into a repair shop and was told the parts to repair it are not readily available but the guy would have a go at it for $300. Anyway to cut a long story short I left it with him along with some instructions on where to insert it. I picked up a used one on Ebay and I seem to have the same problem. Can anyone tell me if their bike still runs if they disconnect the battery while the engine is running? I have put my meter on it and don't seem to be getting a charge.
