My alternator on my 06 GS has seized and cracked...so
Can I fit an alternator off an 05 ADV EXC 31s to my 06 GS with an alternator EXG 290
 
I think there are a couple of different makes and they aren't straight forward to swap. Bosch and nipondenso spring to mind but don't quote me.
 
Denso and Bosch make the alternators. They are NOT a direct swap. The plug on the loom is different. Not impossible to sort but as I say, NOT a direct swap. The Denso is the one that cracks, I changed my one last week after 70,000m on my 08 GSA.

New they're £513 !!!!!!!

Oops forgot about the belt. :(
It might be the least of the problems. Then again, Bosch are unlikely to make the alternator frame especially for BMW bikes.
Someone has access to spares factor stocks could perhaps research the alternatives.
