I got an offer to buy this at £12 from the seller. Reckon if you offer £10 you will get it. Just the postage to pay on top.
The cheap ones are not MOSFETS they are cheap shunt diodes and rubbish,,They can cause your Alternator to fail or even catch fire , The real Mosfets are Shindengren ,, but you can use a Yamaha R1 R/R i have one on my S4 for last 10 years it was off a crashed R1 its a genuine Shindengren MOSFET and cost me £26
All the cheap Chinese brand new ones listed on eBay are fakes. You are about 12 years behind (in relation to the forum)https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/parts-from-china.28362/#post-460096 This thread is about genuine used mosfet ones from the likes of Ducati, Triumph, Kawasaki and Yamaha.
No there are still Fakes on Amazon and Ebay , but they are usually advertised as Brand New and cheap as real ones are usually about £100+ the fakes are under £30 , when they burn or fail and are cut open they are just cheap Shunt types ,, not real mosfets ,, i see it often on bikes I have to fix....yes used mosfets from Yamaha, triumph etc are usually great ,, as i stated I use them on Ducatis usually from Yamahas ,, unless I get a real genuine Shindengren
And again, we know all that. The whole point of this thread is to get the real thing for a reasonable price.
Ah well, the forum has only been at this for over 12 years. With certain members taking one for the team and buying the fake tatt to test to destruction so others are not caught out. Spending time identifying cheap sources of genuine Shingengen Mosfet Reg/Recs and how to connect them to the Ducati loom. If only all those who had done this had shared their experiences on the forum over that 12 years and shown their modification solutions. If only the forum had some sort of search function.
i only recently joined this forum, was on UKMOC which is likely to die soon .... but I have been restoring and racing Bikes and Ducatis for over 50 years and running a Ducati S4 in thailand and touring it around SEA for 22 years with zero parts or service back up also tuning it from 101hp to 117hp on the dyno. Yes Ducati make bikes in Thailand and yes there are Ducati dealers in Thailand but they are mostly useless No parts stocked 2 months to get anything via dealers as they wait for parts from Italy even on Bikes made in the Thai Factory which is 9 miles from my House , so ridiculous ...and they charge far more than UK prices too just another insult i also own a few ducatis in UK I fully understand now that this thread has been running for 12 years ..
Congrats on all that. Won’t bother with my biog’. It was a simple post putting members onto cheap mosfet Reg/recs.
