  • Alternator fitment

    I checked ronayers and the first several letters for the pre and post alternator is the same but the last few are different.

    Will a pre alternator work with a post engine?

    I once my last pre98 750 had an alternator go out, so I put a 98+ alternator on it. I believe it's been said that alternators from engines with different strokes aren't supposed to work, but it did.

    BTW- The bolts that held it in had to be shorter for the 98+ unit.

        I'm currently running a 2001 750 Kat engine in my 91 Katana 600. The alternator I am using is the original alternator off the 91 Kat 600 engine. Bolted right up. The only difference is the electrical plug / connection. I used the original 91 Katana wiring harness so the pre 98 alternator was plug in play for me.

          Thanks for the clarification! I think it might be a pre alternator now. It is a 91 600 with a post 600 engine.
