can i put a bigger rectifier on my f2?or is that not good or does it not matter?

 

no it doesnt matter..alot of people are using the gsxr 1000 reg on thier F2, there is a write up on it somewhere. i will look for it!

 

I picked one of these up... worked great since the only problem has been heat dissipation... Also it mounts right up in stock location without interference

thats the one that i have on my bike.. its been a year so far and no problem yet.. i know there is a heat dissipation grease that you can put behind it and its supposed to make a world of difference!

 

I used 'Arctic Silver 5' same stuff you put between heat-sinks and processors on computers. High-Density thermal compound.

gix regulator write up here.

That is for sure what i would do if my reg was out. You can get the gixxer rectifiers for hella cheap on the bay.

Sorry for my horrendous slang.

Also as-5 is really nice stuff, but i'm damn sure you won't need it if you go with a quality rectifier.

 

I did the GSXR 1000 Reg/rec on my bike. Wired up no problem and havn't had any problems as of yet. Super easy mod to fix the OEM reg/rec from going out all the time.

Hello!
I had some problems with my rectifier and I changed it with a similar one, made by Ducati Energia. The difference is that the new one had a radiator and ran cooler than the original one. I reckon that the heat was the cause that determined the original regulator to fail.
On this topic (http://www.hondahome.ro/forum/index....&#entry331)I describe exactly how I changed the regulator. I also fitted suplimentary radiators and I used cooling paste (I'm not sure if this is the correct name for it) and so I have obtained an operating temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius lower.
Even though the topic I have linked is in Romanian, the pictures I have made speak for themselves. If you have any questions, don't hesitate: I will answer
