  1. I will say it one more time, I had that problem last week, I tested the distributor pickup and it was at 1180 ohms, specs are 920-1120.. somehow it was still running, so I changed it anyway.. and I no longer have a weak spark, take five minutes and check it instead of $500 and five days avoiding doing the simple tests the FSM tells you to do..
  2. look at the connection where the forks/handlebar meet body right at the the joint where you steer.. is the paint there cracked? take a closup if you would.

     

    also straighten out the wheel and stand her up, have someone hold her up and take a pic, does the slant of the forks look right?

     

    any cracking of paint, or the rake of the forks being off or the wheel doesn't look straight when looking down at it from the rider's seat, then the frame is tweaked. And any new frame is hell in a handbag to get DMV to accept, all kinds of paperwork and fees that I doubt you want to deal with.

  3. The 100 amp ebay one is working good for most guys. I saw a big improvement over stock. I did notice that if the idle speed is a little low it does not do so good. The parts store gm ones are lucky to last 6 mounts. If the shop uses good parts it may last.

    I think this is why I am not liking mine, I have to keep the rpms up to keep it charging like I would like it

  4. it's typically an iceberg rear case, high output stator, and better rectifier. You can read up on them here: http://alternatorpar...m/7130_7140.htm

     

    the iceberg case is for better cooling and a bigger rear bearing, because of the location on our cars and the restricted air flow these are ideal.

     

    Any local alternator rebuild shop should be able to fix or even upgrade it.

     

    as for the hyundai alternator I am now getting rid of one because of the lack of output during load changes, with accesories turned on it drops to 12v, and that's without the stereo pulling hard, turn up the radio and it keeps around 12v(barely), but it sure doesn't like to.
