1) No...guess its just down to their belief in the design they have used for sometime...with mucho success. 2) Regulator/rectifier unit and wiring, alternator nut, rockers 3) If you replace the wiring upto the reg/rec with heavier guage stuff you should be fine, get the alt nut tightened and loctited at the next service...and as for rockers...it seems thats down more to good maintenance and warming up.
