Alt. Question

[ineedpaintball]

I might be buying an 80s Kat... the only problem is that the alt. is out... i was wondering how hard it is to change it.

[arsenic]

its not hard at all, just take out the two bolts and slide the old one out, I have an alternator if your interest.

[ineedpaintball]

really... how much? and wut years is it good for?

[steves]

You'll probably have to pull the carbs and airbox first, but yes it's easy to replace.

[ineedpaintball]

wut would u say is a good price under the cercumstances?

[arsenic]

well, quote me a price, it's good for 88-97, if it's an earlier Katana then that tell me, and I'll see if it will work.

[steves]

The starter should be the same for all years.

[ineedpaintball]

the starter is still good on it... i just need the alt. but i was asking how much u would offer for the bike?

[steves]

Okay, so what year bike is it?
The early 80's kats are different than the late 80's kats.

[ineedpaintball]

i don't know exactally wut year it is... im gonna go back and talk to the guy tomorrow.

Yeah . I swapped mine at the rally last summer because I got bored , remember ? Oh yeah , that's right , I was done in less than 30 minutes , so nobody made it down while I was messing with it .

alternator

Well... it is technically not an alternator... it is a generator. I got a used one for mine a couple weeks ago... It was $92 if i recall correctly. I got one from www.cycletherapy.com. they are about 40 minutes away so I went and picked it up to save on shipping. Very easy to install... hardest part was getting the teeth to line up when putting it back in. took a few tries but it went in and worked perfectly.

[ineedpaintball]

i talked to the guy again today... its an 82.

[arsenic]

can't help ya, I can't even look up part #'s on an 82
