My Gixxer has issues.

Issue no1;:(
Charging at 15.5V (14.8V with lights disconnected),killed a 4yr old battery,replaced with new, same charge rate.
Had a look at the brushes OK.
Is a new regulator required?
(THREEHUNDREDANDFRIKKINWHAT?[B)] for a diode and a resistor).
Issue no2; Slipping in second gear.[xx(]
Replaced 2nd/5th and shift forks with second hand bits about 2 years ago.
Just scored a brand new shift drum from eBay USA $98Aus shipped.:D
Any good sources of OEM bits?
Anybody used Factory Pro shift kits?
Any body used these bits? http://www.robinsonindustriesinc.com/html/products.html.
(Quoted $250US shipped for 2nd/5th gearset.)
Probably worth doing a camchain/rings/bearings/valvestem seals while I'm in its guts.
Issue No3:
Nail in the back tyre, easy fix but it's not going anywhere.
Isn't that a sad story.[V]
Should just put a battery and some fuel in my GS1000 and ride that.:D

My 87 1100 had a cheapo car regulater wired in when I got it. Prolly 20-30 worth and easily hidden away

[Deano]

just get any other gsxr alt and take the reg out of that and fit it.

wouldn't waste my time with second hand gearboxes unless you like pulling your motor out and spliting the cases more than once.

try alpha sports for the oem parts

Are the internal regs from other years interchangeable?
I thought about an external reg should be pretty easy to set up.
Lesson learned with gearbox bits, probably would have lasted longer if I'd done the shift drum as well.;)
Only seems to slip when the oil is cold, just been short shifting through second.
Maybe a tad paranoid, just keep picturing random bits of metal through my engine.
