    Well...a bit of an update for you all.

    I finally had time to disassemble everything after receiving all of the parts.

    I can't say I've ever been happy to see a failed component, but at least now I know what the cause of my issue was - a very toasty looking stator coil!

    I've replaced the stator and will replace the reg/rec tomorrow, since I had already ordered a new one I may as well replace everything at once.

    Once everything is back together I'll measure the voltages and fingers crossed will see normal/good results.

    That's a well buggered one. Surprised that there's not more damage

    A failed reg/rec can kill the stator, so do replace it before using the bike again.

    Good to know a reason. What did you go with in terms of parts?

    Ordered genuine Suzuki parts for the regulator/rectifier, stator and matching gasket.

    It's a common enough issue that there are a multitude of knock-off parts out there, but there's no substitute for genuine quality.

    As demonstrated in post 16?
    My own Suzuki still has the original stator and r/r (37 years, but I am very careful about keeping the oil level up as the stator is partially oil cooled, I have relocated the r/r from under the battery box to under the steering head and the alternator connectors have all been replaced, and the batteries have been replaced as soon as needed.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    It's only a common issue for the 2006/2007 models of the bike, later years (and seemingly earlier too) don't suffer from the reg/rec and/or stator issues like the 2006 or 2007 ones do.

    After reading issues like this recently, I went and bought a new battery for my road bike as it was well puffed. I started to get nervous the impact this would have on the charging system for the times I did start it.....usually by bump!

    Having started numerous GSs by bump as their charging systems failed, including a borrowed thou touring north island, and of course all my race bikes, .

    a borrowed RF900 took me a bit by surprise as it almost ran away from me when it caught. Higher first gear or idle or something. Opened my eyes.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
