A mechanic stopped by my place today to help diagnose the cause of my '93 TW not charging the battery (and hence running it dead after a couple hours of riding). He put a meter on it and determined that I have a bad regulator/rectifier. Looks like a real simple fix, pull two screws and a plug, plug in a new unit, tighten the screws and hope it works. The diagnosis seems plausible enough as when measured the output to the battery was far below the required 12V plus.
So... aside from coughing up to my local Yamaha shop, anyone have a place they like to shop for TW parts? The mechanic also said I could use a new chain and sprockets and said I could get new non-OEM parts that would be just as good and much cheaper than Yamaha. Agree? If so, again, where to shop?
Thanks... Rick
