Motorcycle Repair: Follow up, 1980 xt500g yamaha electrical problem, regulator rectifier, stator assembly


Question
I went to: electrexusa website to obtain a trouble shooting chart and to check on replacement electrical parts. Their fault chart for motorcycle charging specifies that it only works for models with a combined regulator/rectifier unit in a single case,these two units are separate on my motorcycle! There parts list for bottom end electrical only has a cdi unit listed for my model,( specifying,1981-92, but says it replaces all years for xt500 and 550?)not a coil,regulator,rectifier or magneto/stator assembly? I guess I have to make a long distance call to find out for sure something I think is another dead end trail! I do beleive my problem is with my cdi assembly and would appreciate some more expert advice!

Thanks

Answer
Mark,

Do you have the shop manual for your MC? If not, try and find a copy.

Visit www.bikebandit.com to see microfiche parts and compare prices.

Visit www.yamaha-motor.com to see microfiche parts only.

I need a email address as requested to return tech files.
