A parcel arrived for me from Germany
this morning (an early Xmas present to myself).
 |
| adaptor and Denso alternator |
It contained a beautifully made German
adapter
machined to accept a Denso alternator from a Kawaski GPZ/Ninja, and designed to bolt
straight onto my Dnepr MT11 with some minor modification to the existing wiring.

| adaptor |
I needed a new alternator as part of the
planned electrical upgrade for the bike, but the standard Russian-made G424 alternator has
a reputation of being rather hit-or-miss. It either works or it doesn’t, and
buying a new one from the factory doesn’t always guarantee you one of the ones
that work.
 |
| old & new side by side |
As I was spending the money anyway, I
decided to spend a little extra and get something a bit more predictable. The
upside is that Kawasaki alternators are rather more readily available than standard
ones should I need more parts in the future.
Now all I have to do is start nailing some of this stuff together in the shed.
