Hi, i wonder whether any of you can help. My bike is an 03 fs650e and isnt charging, its got a single rectifier unit as opposed to the two units i have read some bikes have? The link below isnt my bike but is the same unit:

I have checked the output from the stator which is between 10 and 50 volts AC, 50 only at very high revs, it is around 25 ish at medium revs. I think this is correct? However, the output from the rectifier is non existant at idle, about 2 volts at medium revs raising to about 4.5v at very high revs. There is continuity between the black/white wire and ground. Does this mean its a dead rectifier or is there anything else i should check first?
Finally, if it is a dead rectifier, do i need the correct husaberg one, or can i use something else more readily available from another bike?
