Did you ask him what test he did, to be certain that the battery is o.k.? If he used a voltmeter, and not a load tester, it's just him crossing his fingers and guessing!
I did this for a living, and I wish I could be as certain that it's the rectifier. All a rectifier does is change the A.C. output of the alternator to D.C. to feed the battery. I still maintain that as the battery recharged itself, there's NO way it could do it with a faulty rectifier. Still, I hope I'm proved wrong, and you haven't wasted your money. Even if you fit the new rectifier, and the bike runs, it doesn't prove that the original rectifier was faulty. It could be any number of other things (intermittent faults). I certainly don't have the faith you have in your mechanic's electrical knowledge. :??:
