Greetings from Norway my friend.

Hey!! Good to have you here!

Charging system is great on these. Bought my 03' XB 9R new. Still have it with over 80k on the OD without a problem. As with all stator type charging systems a shorted, bad or weak batt. will put these systems into overload trying to get the batt. up to snuff. Without cooperation from the batt. everything in the system gets hot with potential loss of reg/rectifier and or stator with all conjoined wires and connectors included. Newer mosfet reg/ rectifiers like you said are better because they sense this and will turn themselves off and on to keep from building heat that will eventually destroy all parts. Just starts at the weakest link. found on a particular set up and if batt is kept there long enough it will eat everything. The system can handle operating all the electronics including the fan on a hot day, they just cant handle trying to bring a bad battery back to life. Pretty much the worse thing for these systems on any kind of equipment bikes, outboards, lawn equipment whatever it may be. Alternators handle this a little better

Hey man so I recently noticed my Xb was leaking some oil and it’s dripping from one of my oil lines from the swing arm and was curious if you knew where I could purchase new ones
