I need a new alternator
. My best option seems to be new aftermarket as a rewind is about the same price as getting a new one here from the UK. I have looked at the eletrix site and the have 3 possible ones that may fit. Dose any one know which of the three it is? I think it may be the G92 but if some one knows for sure it would be helpful.If someone has an other option I would be keen to hear that as well.
While were on it. Would i have caused the melt down with my 100w head light? The mechanic doesnt seem to think so. He said the insulation on the armature breaks down because it spends a lot of it's life submersed in hot oil and they were not a good quality unit to start with. A good after market or rewound unit will be better. But the rewinder said as soon as you start changing things you are pushing it. And that if the system could run a 100w bulb then they would have put one in at the factory.
If I think about it like that, we only have 300 to 350w to start with. So if I send 100w to the head light alone that only leaves about 200w for all the rest. However I think the original bulb was 50/75 and I think I have a 75/100 in there now, with relays at the front. As I seldom ride at night I am really only pulling 75w which should be in spec. (Sorry I'm thinking as I go here)
