My z1000a2 still has the original separate regulator/rectifier setup on it. The rectifier certainly looks its age and as I'm in the process of completely rebuilding the bike I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading/replacing them both with a single setup as the bike will be getting used as a daily ? Any recommendations.....or is the original kit very reliable ?
Cheers

Original rectifier/regulator worth keeping ?

realistically one of them will fail eventually purely on age, however having said that if it is working now and giving the correct output at around 13.5` 14 volts under full load at 4000 rpm there is no reason to swap it for the sake of it, just buy a replacement integrated unit and put in a box ready 
just my opinion you understand ...other opinions will be along presently

Yes mine did exactly what Pauljac says - around 1990 when the unit was, I suppose around 12 years old.
After a run out, the battery had boiled dry and was too hot to handle.
With adverse affect on Chrome exhaust!
Acquired a modern replacement in since then & everything ok - I think I got the replacement from electrexworld
From that experience I decided I did not want an original item back - even if I could find one!
