How much would YOU pay for this bike? '04 GSXR 750?

If the motorcycle is being ridden quite a bit and not keeping its battery up, then I would imagine the stator has burned out, or the rectifier is bad. (The stator is the outer winding of the alternator and typically, it should put out about 40 volts AC at 3000 rpm on each of the three fields or windings. The rectifier changes the AC to DC and drops everything to about 14 volts at similar rpm.)
If the motorcycle is sitting a lot, you may need to invest in a battery tender or "maintainer" which will sense when the battery is becoming low and kick on and charge it. Most motorcycle batteries will not last out a winter without some charging. Also, most motorcycle alternators will not "bring up" a dead battery...not enough power output. Hope this helps somewhat. K ;o)

What am I talking about when I say...?

Your most likely culprit is the rectifier/regulator. The regulator portion tends to go first.

2001 Suzuki TS50 Restrictor?

A Clymer's manual for this bike runs about $15-25. It contains compete details on how to test your charging system. Any bike shop with a parts counter can get you one (if they don't have it on the shelf).
