Suzuki GSF650S - Charging System Description and Inspection

6-8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHARGING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION (GENERATOR WITH IC REGULATOR)
The generator features a solid-state regulator that is mounted inside the generator. All regulator compo-
nents are enclosed into a solid mold, and this unit is attached to the brush holder frame. The regulator volt-
age setting cannot be adjusted.
Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the rotor coil which is mounted on the rotor.
The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator hous-
ing. A rectifier bridge, which is connected to the stator windings, contains eight diodes, and electrically
changes the stator A.C. voltage to D.C. voltage which appears at the generator output terminal.
