We’ve been having unfortunate rainy weather, and summer vacation is a bit disappointing, isn’t it? Why not take this opportunity to patrol for motorcycle parts?
This is the final late-model generator that can be used on GSX-R750/1100 and GSF1200 . By using this generator, it regulates voltage stably. In other words, you can use lithium-ion batteries and similar directly. *GSX-R750/1100/GSF1200 have high output voltage with the existing generator, so it’s a bit risky.
After checking, there are still plenty of affordable ones rolling around on eBay, so why not grab one? The marker is a generator with an ND cover/2-pole connector like in the image ND cover/2-pole connector is the identifying mark .
Generator gears have different tooth counts for each vehicle, so replacement is essential (*´ω`*)
For an easy start with eBay, Sekaimon is convenient
You can also create your own account and purchase directly. However, considering various hassles and potential troubles, using a proxy service is definitely worth it.
Upgrading to the latest generator gives you more peace of mind
I think it’s best to choose parts from the highest model year possible. That said, even the final Bandit model is from 2006, so it’s already 19 years old (;∀;)
We’re all getting old… The generator itself is already discontinued, but small parts are still available. It’s good to think ahead about dealing with potential “overcharging or charging failure” that could occur in the future.
This type of generator usually heats up and melts like this, doesn’t it? Since it’s originally a generator for liquid-type batteries, there might be that difference.
Of course, since these are used, quantities are limited (eBay)
