Anybody had a problem with rectifiers or alternators on a KLR? If so what are the symptoms? Regards Gary [klr600] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I haven't heard of any stator failures. I think I've read about a failed regulator once or twice, though. I believe the system quit charging in every case... RM

The rectifier on my A1 cooked itself at 20,000 miles. The symptoms were the gross smell of smoldering electrics and a rectifier connector that was starting to melt. Before that, it had quit charging the battery reliably. A new one was $110.00 mail-order, and that was probably 7 years ago. Arden Kysely

It seemed probable that the rectifier was defective, but after three of the four tests as per manual supplement, it seems ok, but then the good folks from Kasawaki continue to say, that even if all the tests indicate that the rectifier is good, it still could be bad. Interesting. We will continue step by step to solve this riddle, and ALL riddles!! Yours Truly, costarica Jake man.

Aah, I must have meant regulator. I guess that it is true, I have read on this list the assessment that the makers of the KLR think this is an expensive toy for grown up boys, and that it is made to last abt. 40K miles. I was shooting for a rugged, all-round bike that would be reliable and could be used on a daily basis, as I have no car. I feel a bit dissapointed, but not surprised. time to move on, I am looking at a YBR250, she is flirting me. Anyone wants a A18 for 2000 dollar in Costa Rica?

This was posted on another list and I thought it might be interesting. We just think we have a big single, even with the 700+cc kit! If you read German it may make more sense if you go the original web page.
