charging question for those of you with an 03 or a knowledge of the problem
ok when i go out to start the bike when its cold it cranks ......descent
when ive been riding for a while and go to crank the bike ......Im biting my nails and praying[:@]
oh ive had the battery maybe 4 months ....its the same $100 damn dollar battery that comes on the bike luckily with a years no question replacement
1)is this the 03 rectifier problem?
2)Explain the rectifier?
3)can I replace it with a 04-06 one to fix the problem?
4)or is it a heat shield/ battery thing?
5)is a battery tender the same thing as a trickle charger?

Yes, the bikes do have alternators, otherwise the battery would fall flat on its face within the first couple of hours of riding, due to our intensive headlights I think I remember hearing the alternator doesnt put out enough current to charge untill pretty high up in the rpm band, "I thinK". I dont get this problem with my bike, (03 RR) not sure what is going on but I hope someone can help you out [&:] does kinda sound like an alternator thing though
