Hi All,   Me little trusty SV has a knackered reg/rec .. the one promised to me from a guy on the SV forums has still to materialise (and I cant see it coming anytime soon!) Now, I have a LONG WEEKEND  comin up tomorrow, and I wanna be out on the bike, but I need a reg rec obviously   Where in the NW is good for 2nd/h  spares or  who has a  reg rec for for sale  (1st gen curvy sv, two plug etc etc ) -- I'll come collect and bring pound notes !!!   Cheers Chris                                                                                                                                                                             

hi there chris ... reg /rectifiers are not really model specific so if you take it off and have a run around your local parts emporiums one of them is bound to match it up from another bike ...... just checked ebay theres quite a few on there .....  also the gs 500 one fits                                                                                                                                                                              

thanks nellie I  didnt realise that they were not model specific - thanks for the tip ! never really got into ebay (!) maybe I should ... !                                                                                                                                                                             

Dont skimp on it mate, otherwise it could fry your battery and then it'll cost even more..   Ebay will have loads..                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks Dirtbiker   Looked at ebay ... few cheapies s/h at ~ 30 , few 'pattern' new parts at ~ 80 ...  upon  Shell's recomendation spoke to Road n Racing in Hyde who  didnt have quite what I wanted, but had a brand new  unit ( genuine Suzuki )  for a  Gladius which they checked would fit (its a bit bigger with a bigger heat sink)  re-arranged the wiring and fitted new connectors  to while I waited -  even got a brew and  biccies : ) So I reckon I am sorted with a unit better than the dodgy units they fitted to the gen 1 SV's in the first place ...   just need to make sure the battery is OK now ...                                                                                                                                                                              

Glad they could sort you out, Ian n I always take our Suzuki's there and they have always been good with us

Plus with them being a Suzuki dealer you know it's a genuine part
