- I just wanted to thank all of the people out there who responded to
- my questions about my Suzuki and it's voltage regulator or alternator
- problem. Well, I replaced the regulator, and the bike started a few
- days ago, but it was cold, and I couldn't run it too long. But, it
- kept stalling, and I'm afraid that it wasn't the regulator. I tried
- yesterday to start it, and got a sprak which killed the electrical
- system if I pressed the starter. If I unhooked and rehooked the
- battery, the lights would go back on, and presiing the starter killed
- that again. Now, I'm having to have it towed up to a bike shop to be
- looked at ($45 just to look it over and do some minor tests).
-
- I also have a question. My bikes in pretty good condition, besides
- this electrical problem, but if I have to have the alternator
- replaced, that's about another $150 over what I've already spent on
- the regulator. what do you think about spending over $200 on a 13
- year old bike that will probably last me about another year?
-
- Thanks again for all your help.
