Well then, I’m going to fix up the GS750 and get it running. Series.
I’ve thrown out all the old electrical components and I’m agonizing over each part one by one. . . .
I’m wondering what to do about the regulator. . . .
The usual MOSFET is pretty large in size, so laying it out is a hassle.
The more you search the internet, the more information you can find.
But that’s what makes it so troubling. . . .
It might be the same with everything, but if you didn’t know about it, you’d just stick with what worked before—no problem!
This applies to parts and vendors alike—I make sure not to get entangled in those relationships.
So this time it’s the regulator.
The MOSFET regulator 1D7-81960-01 that I’ve been using for a long time has one thing I really dislike. . . .
It’s just so big that it’s a pain to lay out. Even with the fairing off, it should be positioned where maintenance is easier.
Quite a bit of time has passed since this regulator became common, so I was wondering if there might be a sharper regulator out there or something. . . . As I was poking around, I found something in an internet search and decided to order it.
It’s used quite a bit on Yamaha R1 and MT series bikes too, so the confidence level is high.
It looks like it’s also used on Suzuki GSX-S750 and others.
There’s hardly any price difference, so either one should work fine.
As for whether this kind of deliberation is enjoyable or not, honestly, it’s borderline every time.
Searching takes up quite a bit of time, and it’s not like this is a part that sells well after the first go.
Even if I download the GSX-S750 parts list, I’m not sure it’ll be useful. . . . At least I’m not buying it.
As for sales, not many people swap out regulators that frequently as a hobby, so. . . . the numbers won’t be great. . . . right?
Well, I’m thinking positively that it might come in handy for future jobs and lightening the GS1000S.
