Looking to replace the regulator (rectifier) on the SPS. I've seen a few with MOSFET technology, M&P do one for £50.00...although seems a bit cheap to me. Any recommendations? The Battery on the negative post has corrosion, which I know happens due to the natural chemical process, but I am unsure of the battery's age, so that will be replaced too, along with a new rectifier.
You will need a kit that includes the plug/socket adaptor to fit old to new as the connections are different and most of those kits on eBay are around the £100 mark so yes the M&P offerring which looks as though it is just the regulator, is cheap. Most popular replacement battery is a Yuasa AGM. Andy
Buy the the triumph adapter kit plus a later monster/pani reg/rec. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Connector-REGULATOR-FH020AA-Triumph/dp/B01I3F2N30
Sounds sensible, so basically this kit will hook the new reg/rec from a more modern bike into the sps. As for battery, I have always had Yuasa, so will most probably stick with them
Well adapter bought. Now for the Reg/Rec...may aswell do it proper...thanks for all the advice, will look for a genuine one of a Pani I think

Out of interest...anyone heard of the Electrosport R/R?...https://www.electrosport.com/collec...ucts/esr532-regulator-rectifier-ducati-010-1a I heard Electrex, UK supplied US based Electrosports with the R/R to distribute, and then the US company copied the design as was not protected and outsourced manufacturing to China. Not sure how true, but some digging online suggests this. Was going to go for one of these.
That’s just replacing like with like, only a Chinese copy of a copy that you’ll end up paying import tax and vat on. Stick with #9, @chrisw knows his stuff. Andy
Will go with triumph adapter and a genuine oem MOSFET R/R. The electrosport one has MOSFET technology apparently and the same design as the electrex UK ones...£80 from M&P, but after spending my 12hr night shift reading up on these, its a definite no no, as seems to be nothing more than the SHUNT versions with a little revision....https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-Sup...tifier-Unit-/130799603024?txnId=1539615327003
I stuck a panigale or diavel r&r a couple of years ago and it has been faultless. Think I paid about £40 or so and less then a tenner for the triumph link cable.
Get the shindengen mosfet and forget it, when my first reg/ rec failed I replaced it with a new Electrex unit, it lasted 13 months, I replaced that one with a shindengen unit seven years ago, I now have complete confidence and peace of mind. Steve
just need to find a R/R now, plenty about. Out of interest, I have a spare new oem Ducati R/R which I will keep, just in case, it is part no. 54040131A...is this the early version or later? I know the 1999 sps used the later "improved" version.
Thanks, I think the one I mentioned was for early models, but is 2 phase which I presume 99 sps uses???, may as well frame it and hang it up. Btw, my R/R is the original, but just looking to upgrade, the old girl deserves it
