Seems like its the regulator thats been causing my problems so a new one is on order.

Question is, any of you had experience changing one of these on the gsxf and if so can it be done without taking the air box and carbs off? i know to change the alternator it all needs to be stripped down but can you get the regulator cover off and change the reg just by taking the left side fairing off?

If it is as I think the "CAR STYLE" unit

Don't piss about! remove it from the bike to work on it reg could be the problem but I bet on brushes

be careful there are many small parts!

Not on your motorcycle, but yes in general, it's a easy job. You are only changing the part no. 10 (32500-27A00). Take the cover off and you should be able to see it. There's no need to remove the alternator from the engine.

BEFORE YOU DO
Tell us the symptoms, you're having. So you won't be changing all the bits to find out the problem was elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies. I've had a problem where the revs would drop to the point it cuts out when I turn the lights on. I disconnected the regulator plug on the weekend and it ran without fault.

Do you know if I can get to it without taking the airbox and carbs off though?

You do realise the revs dropping with the lights on is normal? My GSXR1100 is a cunt for it. Just wind the Idle up until it just holds with the lights on. Job jobbed. The reason it stopped doing it when you unplugged the regulator is cause there was no load across the alternator.

It shouldn't drop that much that it cuts out. If I up the revs to keep idling with the lights on it revs at 1000rpm but then 1700 with lights off. It's also putting out 15.2v with the lights on which is 14.7v with lights off.

This points to you have a poorly adjusted weak idle, rather than needing to fuck with one of the most reliable alternators in The history of motorcycling.

Id be looking for slight air leaks and checking the adjustment of idle mixture screws.
