If I change out one, I need to change out the other. On later models of this bike they upgraded both. Now, the original part number is VERY hard to come by. And, if I go with an upgraded Alternator I have to upgrade the Regulator.

Did you ensure the battery was fully charged before you put it in the bike?

A bad rectifier can drain the battery. But they use the same one on many bikes, hell it's probably a Japanese part shared with CBR's or something.

First off, if possible, screw the original part number. Ducati uses Italian made electrics, all of which are complete crap.

There used to be a company called Electrex, who is now called ElectroSport Industries: http://www.electrosport.com/

I've used them in the past, and had no problems with anything the sold me.

They don't show a stator or RR specifically for your bike, but they do have some models that might be compatible. I'd call them up and see if they can sort you out.

FWIW, I bought a higher output rectifier / alternator for the KLR from Electrosport after emailing with them a bit, and as JC noted, they were easy to deal with and I didn't have any problems with the order. I haven't installed the goods yet, but will be soon.

I think they were just afraid of JC. I mean, how much electricity does it take to bring someone back to life? How could they ever feel like they could live up to his expectations?

I do have that effect on people...

UPDATE: I did some poking around, and it seems that the RR for a 94 888, is the same part number, [esr510] (aftermarket from these guys: http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/ca...ator-Rectifier) as your Monster, http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/ca...ator-Rectifier

UPDATE to the UPDATE:

The part number for the ElectroSport RR for the 94 888, is the same [esr510], as the other site, and the same price, so there you go.
