Just to remember if you use a Bosch generator you need a Bosch voltage
regulator. Same goes with the Marelli units.

Regards....Ian

p.s. Chris, you listed two Bosch generators. Are they comparable units?
What's the difference between the two?

GK-
Check the voltage regulator...I had an always dead battery until I

replaced

the regulator. Generator checked fine, starter was new. Replacing the
voltage regulator should solve your problem.
As for batteries, I have used a wal-Mart Garden tractor battery for 2

years

now with absolutely no problem. My battery charger has a lot of dust on

it

now. Why pay $50-100 for a special motorcycle battery, when a $19.95
battery (that is suspiciously the exact same size as the original one)

works

fine?
Another tip...Bosch generator on a Guzzi puts out 20-25 amps I think. A
Bosch generator for a VW Type III (squareback, fastback, or notchback VW
part # 311 903 631F, Bosch # 0 101 302 089) genetates 30-40 amps. If

you

have a lot of energy consuming devices on your loop, I'd recommend

finding

one of these jewels...they have the same case (looks original) and bolt
right on!
Chow!
