Regulator/rectifier upside down?
So I just got a 92 cbr 600 f2. My regulator rectifier went out. I ordered one from ebay and after a while of looking at the picture I noticed that if mounted on my bike the writing on it would be upside down. The prongs are exactly the same so I think it would still plug in, what I'm wondering is would it still function correctly if it was upside down? It says it fits 91-00 f2 f3 f4 is this part gonna work?

It should be fine.

Sticker is upside down :)
Run it - be fine. |
Would it cause any problems if the bike was started for a very short period with the regulator rectifier unplugged?
|
So I got the new r/r and mounted it upside down tested it, it seemed fine went on a short ride went to test again there was a clear jelly type stuff oozing from the r/r and it was hot probably too hot, this ever happen to anyone?

Wow! Doesn't sound too good. Was there an earth lead to mount or was it earthed through the body of the R/R? Was it a standard OEM R/R or aftermarket? And I think there is only one way to plug it in so that shouldn't be the problem. |
It grounds from the back of the r/r to a plate on the frame someone did say its not oem, and I just found out that the battery terminal is loose and is causing the bike to die, I'm gonna replace the battery and see what happens
