Bought an 06 Raven R1, it ran , drove it home 100 miles. Ended up taking it to the dealer for a starter relay, ( it would stall at idle quite often, putting extra strain on the battery, relay ,and starter)went to pick it up, had an unusual whining noise, left it there, said do what you need. Had metal chips in the oil, had it rebuilt as needed . Shortly after getting it back , starter went out. Replaced that myself, what a pain. Then , a couple weeks later, jumped on it hard at highway speeds, clutch went bye bye, had to nurse it home, about 12 miles, about 3000 rpm, 45 mph, blinker on, riding down the shoulder. Ordered a new high performance clutch, put that in. Was a lot easier than the starter. You never know with used bikes ,or cars, I was a Mercedes tech for seven years, sometimes you need time , and digging deeper when buying used, but that is usually impossible, gotta be ready to spend some after the purchase. Pretty sure the guy knew something was wrong, hence, the reason he sold it, but , oh well.

Rugaltor rectifiers can easily break from overheating. The Honda VFR800 was the worst reg ever, i had replaced it 3 time before sourcing a MOSFET (the type of component) reg. All REG RECs need heat sink paste and excellent cooling, they will blow just like a CPU from a computer. I can build better REG RECs but there are plenty of doner bikes out the. Furthermore, if you disconnect lights or use LEDs the REG REC works harder with less load ( shunt type control). So do not remove the lights if your bike has a shunt type regulator, you will not save fuel, gain power or anything else but blowing up you regulator. MOSFET type regulators are the way to go, the alternator can (in the VFR at least) peak over 100amps. Starter motors can generally be save unless the windings have burnt. Simple checks will give you a diagnosis and the motor is one of the simple designs to repair. Remember, MOSFET regulators produce very little heat and do not short the alternator unlike most of the older regs. Honda Regulators have been very dubious and need a-lot of heat dissipation. BMW are the only motorcycle that I have seen with a traditional automotive alternator with an inbuilt regulator. The down side of a traditional alternator can be loading fluctuations.
