New Alternator ... How much?
Fitted a new fully charged battery into my Sv650s today and went for a ride. 40 mins later I was being jump started by a horsebox (of all things) near to Portsdown Hill
 So, its not the battery, its gotta be something else and I'm just wondering how much a new alternator is going to set me back? Does anyone know? Many thanks to the lovely couple (and horse) who got me back on the road even tho they had a long journey ahead of them

Re: New Alternator ... How much?
If you don't have a multimeter or can't do it yourself,get the system checked first.You can check the alternator output,and the regulator/rectifier before you buy stuff.The usual culprit is the reg/rect,assuming your battery is good and the connections are tight.
