got a question, but first, lemme tell you verything that happened, capesh?
On saturday, i pull up in my garage, for some reason, out of the ordinary, i hit the kill switch(I always turn the key off, but whatever) and i forget to turn the bike off. Later that day, i go to start up my bike, and realized what i did. I rolled down the driveway in second gear, popped the clutch, and rode around my neighborhood for like ten minutes to charge it.
Sunday, me and my friend go for a ride, a long and twisty one, about 3 hours of twisties. Ran the snot out of it for 2 hours, with a few breaks of course. The in the middle of a turn, the bike bogs down, and it dies. Wont start, the lights are really dim, and i can hear the fuel pump priming very slowly.
Poked around it for a bit, put my buddies batery in it, and it turns on just fine. So we realize my charging system all of a sudden went bad. So me and TJ switch batteries, so his bike can charge my battery, 20 miles down the road, after riding at low rpms, the guages shut off, a mile later, the bike bogs down, and dies again. So we keep switching batteries every 20 miles til we got home.
I thought I would have been able to run off a full, and new battery for over 20 miles
I talked to ChrisOh when we stopped for food, he said it was a bad alternator, or a bad rectifier, makes sense, but how do i know which one i should replace?

do the rectifier mate, same thing went on mine. follow the wiring from the rec back and the chances are you will find the plug will be burnt out. if the wireing is bunt out just hard wire it. thats what i did and have not ahd a prob since!
just bung another rec on and see how ya get on. and ya will need a new battery because it frys them!
get a whole new rec mate, what i meant to say is that if you check the wiring back you will prob find that the plug is burnt out. its a comman prob with these.
basicaly the rec downs the voltage that comes out of the gen so that it should be around 13.5 - 14v the best way to test it is to put a multimeter on the battery, run it up and give it a good rev and see what the readout is.
when mine was knackered it was putting 19v to the battery!

I am thinking leaning to the Generator since his bike will not run unless the battery is chaged. His Generator isn't producing and current to power the bike.
My CBR had a bad generator, but was producing enough current to run the bike as long as I kept it over 2500 rpm. Jerm's bike is running off the battery till the battery is dead then quits.
get one off ebay, thats what i did, mine is off a gsxr 1000. they are the same on certain models. phone suzuki and find out what years will fit and you can pick one up for peanuts!
Even though the rectifier looks fine you need to replace it. The same thing happened to my bike and I ended up replacing the stator first with no fix in the problem. I replaced the rectifier and the plug and now the bike is running fine.
