I recently bought this 92 ST1100 for $500 with 77000 miles on it. I was told the original alternator died so they put a new one in then it leaked oil around the alternator so they pulled it out and reinstalled it only to crack the outer alternator case and thats how I bought it. The guy didn't know if they put in a 28 or 40 amp alternator. The bike runs and starts fine and I thought the charging voltage was a bit high at 15 volts at 4000 rpm but after reading a bit it seems that's not unusual for a 28 amp alternator so I assume that's what I have but I was curious if there was any way to definitively tell. I can't find a alternator case so I assume they don't make them anymore and I"m left to scour eBay and junkyards for one, is that correct?
Thanks,
