A question about alternators and their compatebility

[robinjo]

I'm asking this for the guy who posted this: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...458&highlight= He asked on a Dutch motorcycle forum if other models alternators would fit on his '77 GS750??? 1000,850??? 550 maybe?

Cant find it.

I cant find the info. Den kirk sells stators for 79 750's that match other models but no info for a 77 is available.

I would stay away from anything smaller than a 650. It looks like most bikes 650 or bigger use one of two stators. Im not sure if you can tell the dif just by looking.

Electrux site show listing 76-79 GS750 but is no longer lists a replacement. best bet would be for him to locate an electric motor repair in his home country to have it rewound. Or if he is capable have him rewind it himself There are good directions in the stator pages of the forum

Check out the BikeBandit parts microfiche. This will give you a picture and part number for each model each year.

I sent him an email yesterday, advising him to see if he can get an Electrex replacement.
As far as I know the alternators didn't change from 76 to 79. Although I'm not sure.
