zetec alternator
Hi Folks!
I have a bit of an issue with getting an alternator for my zetec. I am running GSXR 600 TBs and the space between the bottom of the tb throttle
linkage and the oil filter is limited. The standard alternator is way too big and I have just tried an alternator from a bedford rascal van which is
smaller but still too big. Anyone got any suggestions for a smaller one? Can I use a bike one or are they all 6 volts?
Cheers
Chris

I had the same space issue due to a chassis rail and I put on the other side where the engine mount is. So this alternator bracket shares the back two
bolts with the engine mount...

Check my archive under engine, for pics of the common or garden Lucas ACR alternator mounted above the oil filter.
Its a blacktop btw.

most, if not all modeern bike, use a 12 Volt system.
Bike alternators are slapped onto the end of the crankshaft so there is no pulley as such. Also they sit inside the engine casing.
If you were to use one in the same way as a car alternator, you will have problems mounting it plus need some bearing to take the side load of the
pulley.
I am not aware of locoster having done this but should in theory be possible.
