electrex warning

I just finished speaking with Steven van Twuyver. He's in California
and headed north to Oregon, Washington & Alaska. Fortunately, he
brought his stock stator and regulator/rectifer with him on his trip,
just in case there were any problems with the Electrex units.
To make a long story short, he did field surgery to re-install the
stock stator & regulator. His symptoms were nearly identical to
Dash's charging system problems. Steven left on the trip with a
brand new battery and still had charging system problems. Everything
is electrically ok now.
Bottom line, 3 listers have had problems with the Electrex units and
Dash's CDI may have been fried by the Electrex units.
I'm going to check with a Seattle shop to see if they can sell new
and/or rewound KLR stators as well as higher power regulators. This
shop rewinds aircraft, auto, & m/c rotors and stators.

I assume Zipper is your Suzuki SV650. How do you like it? I was
thinking about getting one. Except all the (good) dealers here are
sold out. No SV's do in until september or october. I haven't even
got a chance to sit on one. Yoshimura makes a nice set of titanium
pipes for it. I heard the Sv650's are for shorter people. I'm 6ft
4in.

Rich,
Neil (Carmic7...) responded to my post & mentioned Ricky Stators. I
found them at
http://www.rickystators.com and e-mailed them, requesting
info about performance specs, pricing & warranty. They sell an ATV unit
for the Banshee for $230 with 200 watt output & a 1 year warranty. I
didn't see any info about their selling a higher output regulator/rectifier.
I'll certainly keep the list informed of any useful info. I'm sure that
Steven will be glad that he has helped save another lister from grief.
