Question 03 Speed Triple alternator problems???

A few weeks ago my S3 croaked on me Symptoms: was riding home, electronics went dead, got home, bike shut off. Would not start. I charged the battery and bike starts right up again. While running, I disconnected the battery cables and the bike just dies. I suspect the alternator is at fault. This is my first Triumph, so I rather try and fix it then part with it. Where to buy cheap parts, the dealer wants a grip??? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!!!

Hoping to ride again SOON!

This is a link to a trouble shooting flow diagram you might want to use.

I am not recommending their products because I have no experience with them.

Check your relays (fuse). I had a similar issue that led me to replacing the alternator only to later find out that it was just a blown fuse.
