Compartir
Applies to: Suzuki GSX-R750, GSX-R1000 and other Suzuki sportbikes

Why it happens
The regulator/rectifier runs hot and the stator connector between them burns. Once the connection fails the battery stops charging.
How to fix it
- Check charging voltage at about 5000 rpm against the manual.
- Inspect the stator-to-regulator connector for burnt pins.
- Test stator resistance and AC output.
- Replace the regulator and bypass the burnt connector with soldered joints.
Tools and parts
