Yeah they always say the early single phase charging systems are weak but my 1997 bike has never given trouble despite its undersized wire gauge.

I replaced all the starter circuit cabling a few years ago which made a huge difference to the way the motor now turns over and I’m currently in the middle of replacing (the still working) original regulator/rectifier with a Shindengen MOSFET unit from an R1 along with the associated charging cables which are all starting to show their age.

All things that you shouldn’t need to worry about with an Evo though I should imagine.

Have you got a trip in mind (Covid travel permitting obviously)?
