Rick’s Motorsport Electrics: Stators, Regulators & Starters for Modern Triumphs

Rick’s Motorsport Electrics is a family-owned American company in Hampstead, New Hampshire. It makes and rebuilds charging and starting parts for motorcycles, including stators, rectifier/regulators, starter motors, solenoids and stator cover gaskets. If you ride a Hinckley-era Triumph (a Bonneville, Thruxton, Scrambler, Speed Triple, Street Triple, Daytona, Tiger, Sprint or Rocket III), Rick’s is one of the most trusted names for getting your charging system working properly again. At British Iron we stock the Rick’s parts that fit those bikes, and we’re glad to help you pick the right one.

Rick’s Motorsport Parts for Triumph Motorcycles

Triumph Stators (Alternator Stators)

A stator is the stationary set of copper windings behind your engine’s side cover. Together with the spinning rotor it forms the alternator, which produces the AC power your regulator/rectifier turns into DC to charge the battery. Rick’s new stators are built to stock spec. Rick’s recommends measuring your old stator (OD, ID and stack thickness) before you order, especially on split-year models. Their stator measuring guide shows you how.

• Rick’s Stator for 2001–2012 Air-Cooled Bonneville, T100, Thruxton, Scrambler, America & Speedmaster (MBI-21006). Replaces T1300076/T1300675.
• Rick’s Stator for 2002–04 Speed Triple 955i, 1999–04 Sprint RS, Sprint ST & 2001–07 Tiger 955i (MBI-21-005)
• Rick’s Stator for 2005–12 Speed Triple 1050, Sprint ST/GT & Tiger 1050 (MBI-21-014)
• Rick’s Stator for 2006–12 Daytona 675 & 2008–13 Street Triple 675 (MBI-21-012). Includes a connector kit and pickup coil.
• Rick’s Stator for 2005–18 Rocket III Classic, Touring & Roadster (MBI-21-021). Replaces T1300450.
• Rick’s Stator for 2002–06 Daytona 955i (MBI-21-002)
• Rick’s Stator for Speed Four 600, TT600 & Daytona 600/650 (MBI-21001)

Triumph Regulator/Rectifiers

The regulator/rectifier converts the stator’s AC output into DC and holds charging voltage in a safe range. A healthy system usually shows about 14–15 V at the battery at 4,000–5,000 rpm (RevZilla’s charging-system test guide).

• Rick’s Regulator/Rectifier for Air-Cooled Bonneville, T100, Thruxton, Scrambler, America, Speedmaster & TT600 (MBI-1004H). Supersedes T1300819. Rick’s equivalent is the Hot Shot Series Triumph Rectifier Regulator 10-004H. (Site team: confirm that MBI-1004H is the Hot Shot 10-004H before publishing.)

Running a lithium battery? Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries are far less tolerant of voltage spikes than lead-acid batteries. Rick’s makes a dedicated lithium-ion compatible rectifier/regulator line. Contact us and we’ll confirm whether there’s a lithium-safe unit for your Triumph.

Triumph Starter Motors & Solenoids

• Rick’s Starter Motor for Triumph Twins (MBI-1310908). Matches T1310908 and fits 2001–2020 Bonneville/T100, 2006–2022 Scrambler 900, 2004–2020 Thruxton 900, America and Speedmaster.
• Rick’s Starter Motor for Triumph Triples (MBI-1310000). Matches 1310000-T0301 and fits carbureted-era and 955i-era Speed Triple, Daytona, Tiger, Sprint RS, Trophy, Thunderbird and more.
• Rick’s Starter Solenoid (MBI-65701). Fits most Triumphs from 1991 onward, from the TT600 to the Speed Triple 1050.

Stator Cover Gaskets

• Rick’s Stator Cover Gasket for Speed Triple, Sprint GT/RS & Tiger Sport (MBI-25-0006). Fitment depends on VIN range. Our Triumph VIN guide shows you how to read yours.

Rick’s recommends fitting a new gasket every time you replace a stator. Reusing a crushed one is the classic cause of an oil weep down the side of the cases. Add a gasket to your order and you’ll only have to do the job once.
