I did a search, with no help gined...
my f2 runs good.. starts good etc...
but the V.R right under the right side of the seat.. gets REEEAAAAAAL hot.. the plate it is bolted too is untouchable.. the V.R. smells as if it is burning....

do these just go bad..... should i just replace it???
or do i need to look for an undelining problem first???
Like i said.. everything is working fine... just gets your ***** real warm...


Help...

thank in advance

if you have a voltage meter then put +to+ and -to- and rev the bike to about 4.5-5 grand. the voltage should be regulated to about 13-14 vdc(dcv). if over replace that baby! the reading your looking at is off the battery(+to+ -to-)

 

hello ... yes thats going to get hot its called the (Regulator -Rectifier) realy dosint matter and yes that will get very hot if you smell something burning i think you shur check the rectifier wire's there are 3 and thay are yello and also check the wireplug thats what went bad on mying just folow the wire's and check everything

 

Theres a lot of posts on this topic (one that I actually created) but I tested my charging system not too long agoand the R/R was the faulty unit. I had read in a thread that a R/R for a gsxr stays much cooler and is actually a better replacementfor the one the cbr comes with soI purchased one (on ebay for $30 shipped). had not installed yet but I trust the advice...

i'm not ina position to be dishing advice cuz of my noob-ness but just stating my experience and the advice that was given to me.. with that said, for less than 50 bucks you won't have to worry about your ***** being on fiiiiire

or i read on another site that you could mod out the r/r but that may take a lil more effort by messing with the ground wires, adding a copper plate, etc... heres the link to the link: https://cbrforum.com/m_315101/tm.htm

let us know what u decide to do

 

if i replace it with the gixxer unit.... is the plug the same?
thanks for the help guys


Rick

 

yea, just be sure to get one with 5 connectors.... i think the colors are different though(i.e. the white on a cbr is actually black on the gixxer)

i pulled this from another thread...

Honda Suzuki
3 white( alternator) 3 black
1 Red ( positive) 1 black/red
1 green( negative) 1 black/white


the white/black wires are interchangeable

 

dang, it doesnt stop...........
okay, so i got a new regulator.....
but when i went to bolt it up.. the plug on the wie harnes is all melted up, and unusable...
does anyone have a jacked up wire harness with that plug still being usable that i can get.... or am i looking for a whole new wire harness off of the bay?

thanks in advance for any and all help.....
