Generators are not reliable!

Alternator not good. Bought in June last year. At Goldwing, the drive wheel of the alternator failed. The first thought was that the native generator is broken. First, a generator noise was diagnosed. Bought this and exchanged it. Apparently the sound was still his own. A parked bike put on a battery would start every few weeks until I turned the engine off 5 weeks ago. Remember that the bike has not been ridden all winter. So 0 miles since the generator was installed. I just replaced the ADG this week but the bike won't charge. testing shows old. does not load. Thank goodness I didn't throw the old one away. replaced. The charger is great. So old. was not good from original purchase. Really disappointed. The crazy thing is I still didn't know it was a bad thing because I was waiting to do the ADG myself to save the dealer 4000.00. While I had the engine I also installed a new starter motor. Guess where I bought it. Now I'm worried about how long it will take. You get what you pay for. Be careful
