On the Electrex World site under "technical" they have a good R/R test page. I don't have the diode test function on my mutlimeter so used resistance instead. With the black probe on the battery wires (either, as it happens) then one of the three alternator terminals is dead, the other two work. With the red probe on either battery wire, all three alternator terminals do the same thing. So looks like it's cooked. Also battery is 12.4V max after beign charged (and settling) so looks to be sulfated. £££.

Anyone care to suggest a R/R for a 1999 SV? I can't remember how long I've had the Electrex one on there, I would reckon about 6 years, I'm not sure if a Japanese one would fare better? The Electrex one is MOSFET.
