Rectify the rectifier

Say it ain’t so.  The bikes are getting some loving.

First comes the track bike with some fresh oil.

and a good bath

Then the street bikes also gets a good bath.

Then it gets prepared for surgery.

The old regulator rectifier gets disconnected.

The first gen SVs are said to have known problems with the R/R.  The power drill comes out.

A spare is robbed off the carcass and hopefully this one will cooperate a little better.

Here’s to hoping for fully charged batteries from now on!
