    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Replacement Rectifier

Is this just a rectifier and not a regulator, or is this the same thing?
If it is a different thing where can I get the regulator part?
 
It is just the rectifier. You can get a regulator from the same company.
 
its in PDF my computer hates pdf, never wants to work right :evil:
 
Get a used Honda regulator.
Simple, cheap and it works !

I've used Honda reglulator/rectifiers on three Suzukis so far...
 
The guy in the electric store tested my rectifier and he said it wasn't broken. All the testresults are correct.

He didn't what the problem was, but it's not the rectifier (providing the schedule of the rectifier in the stator pages is correct).

It might be the stator. He told me two things:
- first of all not all multimeters might not work correct for the higher frequencies (above 70 hz) 5000rpm (83hz) might be to much for my multimeter. So the reading might be wrong.

- Second: He told me I should measure the stator output with load. To make sure their is no shortage. (I think the resistency test gives the same result and this was ok).

I'm going to a bike shop with proper equipment and have it checked out by them.
 
The site shows the cut sheets in .pdf format. You can go to the webpage and look around for different electical parts.

Taking it to the shop is often an easy fix. You don't have to stress out about if what you think is wrong is really the problem. The only bad part about taking something into the shop is the labor cost. They rape you blind! Good luck on fixing the bike. I hope all works out well. What is the bike doing? Just not charging? Let me know what you find out!

Did you do the simple, on the bike, voltage test at the battery at the diferent RPMs as suggested in the stator papers. That is an excellent and accurate test.
 
The shop will fix it for you. They just replace everything :roll:
