| ST2 rectifier problem?
I think I have a rectifier problem on an ST2 (1997). The battery hasnt been charging well recently despite daily use and yesterday I noticed drop of power at high revs and occasional missfire. Then my ride was suddenly ended when the engine died completely and the battery didnt have the power to do anything except light the dash.
A call to Rich at Luigi Moto seemed to confimed my suspicion it is likely to be rectifier failure, and after a call to Craig at Motorapido I realised being a 1997 ST2 I may be in for £200+ for a new one (the later, 1999, rectifier is only £70). Electrexworld dont have any pattern parts at the moment ("it is being redesigned") although I need to check because at the time I thought I was looking for the later part.
Any advice on whether this behaivour sounds like a rectifier would be appreciated. Plus any potential alternative to the £200+ cost for new one.
I am really hoping it isnt a generator failure, as this is nearly £700!!
The bike is in the Chippenham /Bath area
