Hi
I purchased a '08 DL1000 (Canadian Model) in the Fall of '16.
It had the "rectifier fire" and had burned with 7025 km on her.
I restored it and put it back on the road in June of '17.
Fantastic bike! Last week at 45,436 km the rectifier burnt out
along with melting the plug (the rectifier was a 'high end' aftermarket unit).
I have a new one temporary mounted and the bike is back running fine.
Just wondering if I should drill hole in the plastic cover or mount the rectifier outside
so more air can flow over?
The temperatures here in NL, Canada do not not get too hot . Average summer's day is usually
20-25' C .
Thoughts? Suggestions?
