what would cause the wires going to my rectafire on my 95 900rr to melt ???? we cant see any other shorts any where . could the bad rectafire cause the fuel pump not to work and also cause there to be no spark??????

 

Ive got a 95 and i had a full melt down on all wire and the plug to the rectifier.I put it down to me messing about ive put a ducati back end inc the underseat exhaust. BAD earth me moving the rectifier was all i could find so i made sure i had a good earth point for the new rectifier.

hope that helps

 

two connections in the plug on the harness probably touched causing a short which led to your meltdown. i don't know why this happens, but it's pretty common with the older 900's. get a new rectifierthen cut the plug for the rectifier off the wiring harness(make sure you mark where each wire goes for reassembly), making sure not to cut the wires too short, leave as much length on them as possible, also some of the wires will have to be lengthened(use the same gauge wire as the wire you are lengthening).make sure you get single (male) end connectors with clear insulationcovers, without them the connectors will arc causing another meltdown.plug each connector, one at a time into the rectifier.

 

ok thanks for the help

 

If the rectifier goes bad can allow up to and more than 3 times the juice runing through yer wires to yer battery. I learned that one the hard way [:'(]. But it didnt just melt my wires it cooked 2 batteries aswell
