Welcome.The rectifier is part of the system that charges the battery.If the bike is not charging it will not run when the battery goes dead.This sounds like a good price for the rectifier,if that is the problem.The other main part of the charging system is the stator and they can be as much as $200.00.It seems a little strange that the owner would not replace the rectifier if that is the problem,as it is simple to replace.I would be cautious if the owner won't put a new one on to show you that's the problem.Even if you paid the price of the rectifier in the final sale of the bike.He is correct that the bike will start and run on a charge or boost,as long as the vehicle you boost from is not running.If he is boosting the bike from a running vehicle there is likley more damage than a rectifier.Good luck.
