A replacement alternator for my bike is 742 dollars.

Is it more worth it to just bring it somewhere? It looks like a bad regulator but the regulator is 255 dollars so I'd hate to buy it and that's not it.

Maybe you'll have some luck with this.....

I actually think most BMW parts are quite cheap. Ask any of your friends with a somewhat modern Ford how much it costs to replace their brakes..

^ Same goes for Chrysler/dodge/jeep products. Shits weak.

The ZX-7R was a low production street bike, so I'm not surprised.

Your best bet would be to take it so some local, old guy who does starter/alternator rebuilds and see what he can do for you.

Bmw parts are dirt cheap compared to my Porsche

That's what I thought this thread would be about.

Porshe's parts are dirt cheap compared to my Bugatti.




What? oh, I forgot, Porsche's parts are totally reasonable...you pay for the sheen.

Ever consider swapping in a different alternator? Might take a bit of research ti find something that would fit and work, but even if you had to make a custom bracket and do a little wiring, it would still be better then to spend $700.
