GSX Alternator-Reg/Rec

[Kryten]

did you check te link from one alternator phase to the headlight switch? terrible idea, all three phase output of the alternator should go into the three inputs of the reg rec diirectly, remove the loop that goes to the headlight, well, disconnect it and leave the wires in situ. the link through the headlight switch was a terrible suzuki idea thats long since been proven to be bobbins.

Yep I'd binned that idea when Skruffy Kat was first put back on the road. Should've gone the ElectrexWorld route then, but had working Hamamatsu stuff

Still has a functioning Suzuki CDI unit fitted, and a Dyna S waiting in a box...

Like I said in my wussykat post The angry pixies had burnt down the pixie factory, emptied the warehouse and B@ggered off on a beam of light.

During the excellent WussyKat ‘21 at The Maypole (Kool Kats and Daft Dogs), Skruffy Kat developed an annoying electrical issue.
Apart from the rear brake switch sticking on, caused by the connecting spring snagging on the brake torque arm bolt The sat nag supply kept dropping out at lower rpm. Usually as I arrived at a junction/roundabout and could have done with with some sort of general guidance as to where I needed to go.
This got progressively worse on the way home and Skruffy Kat valiantly made it back onto the drive, where she promptly gave up!

Knowing the history of 80’s GSX electrics and that the alternator and the reg/rec are original Suzuki items, I bit the bullet and ordered a new one of each from ElectrexWorld plus a new gasket for the genny cover and some other bits and pieces to do a service!

At least we saw parts of Bicester that aren't on the Tourist map......Mind I'm not sure any part of Bicester is on the tourist map.
