Was out riding my 1993 GL1500 for most of the day when after sitting in a parking lot (a motorcycle dealership as luck would have it) I came out to go and battery could not turn the bike over and then completely died. Bought a new battery, starts right up, drove a few miles to get home, and fully charged the new battery. Go out for a ride later that week and the same thing happened. Tested battery, it's fine, issue seems to be the charging system.
Bike still has the OEM alternator and since I don't have a lot of add on lighting and such I thought (w/ just over $100k miles) I probably just needed to replace the alternator with another OEM unit. Got an OEM unit cheap from a member here but when I was looking at the one on my bike trying to test it to be sure I noticed that a part attached to the alternator was broken. I have no idea what it is, tried looking up the numbers on the part (-0283-00 250-0.22 AC- X 26) online with no luck, and the local dealership's parts dept person was of no help at all.
Looking at the attached pictures can anyone tell me: What this part is? Could this broken piece be the cause of my charging problems? Do I need a replacement? If so where can I find one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
