If anyone here experiences the same here is the rundown:
Always check fuses first - the charger fuse is in differing places depending on model - but there is one and if it is burnt you found your faulty part!
Then decide if you have carb or EFI: if carb look at your alternator - this is the most common second cause (after fuse) for none charging. Is the color deep brown - then it is likely burnt.
If you have EFI your alternator is very likely not the cause (never heard a EFI alternator go bad) - look at the RR Unit, part no 587356/c, page 80 in the parts catalog.
I may repeat myself - but the most important item to be added to a carb Hima is a voltmeter, it can be a life saver because your alternator dies slowly - so if you see your voltage go below 14V with LED headlights burning or below 13V with a regular headlight on - then its time to switch off the light and head straight to a workshop! Make sure they have the part - many do not.
Your battery is small - once the alternator burns out you have only 1-2 hours left depending on the state of your battery. Do not stop the engine until you reach the workshop. Every new start will drain the battery without any recharging afterwards.
