Battery/starter motor problem finally sorted

[Throwdown!]

The annoying part is that you can buy every part seperatly on the starter motor bar the armature and the stator and i need the stator lol

I get all my parts from the wreckers. There are plenty of people out there throwing their busas down the street and donating parts that have only done a few thousand kms. No diagnostics needed when you can just replace with a load of stuff from a younger bike - keep the good parts for the future. Add workshop labour and you're at least doing the job at half price.

POSSIBLE WARNING:
I replaced my recitifier, stator, burnt out wiring and ( brand new) battery for about $800. I replaced the lot because the mechanic said my recitifier was probably buggered, but there was no way to tell if the stator knackered the recitifier or vice versa. I'm no mechanic but if he's right your new stator could be at risk if your recitifier is a bit sus, as your brand new stator is hooking up to a 10 year old recitifier.
