Regulator / Rectifier change on a Honda Deauville 650 and applying Heat Sink Paste 

Nice loads of help out there if you get stuck

@@biker1k thanks.👍

Thanks for watching It’s always good to know what’s going on so I’d highly recommend fitting a volt meter of some description to every bike

Thanks fella I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad that you found the mods beneficial. I've a new one coming where i fit mirror mounted led Indicators and these work really well let me know your thoughts on them please

Shop around mate in the uk you can find them from £20 gbp

@@biker1k Found one new for 105 euros, whish is quite ok. Let's hope my bike will start charging again. I tested today and the regulator was very hot, I think its broken. Also voltage vas under 13 when running.

@@pyrdypelimies5164 defo sounds like it’s faulty. If you can put some heat sink paste on the back of the new one as this is defo a top tip to help with heat dissipation.

@@biker1k Seems now working. Even though the new heatsink is comb-shaped, I put some thermal compound to metal parts that contact to the chassis. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ejqdgx6CWX0.html

@@biker1k 14volts with the new. Now for a test ride. Thanks for the video, it got me ispirated to fix this by my own. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pU6viw5U-iA.html

They are marine switches off eBay mate

@@biker1k thanks pal

Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. Thanks for watching

Glad you found it useful...thus is quite a common fault on 650 deauvilles but it's an easy fix. Just don't ride it until you have done it as this can damage your battery permanently as I found out lol

Hi Mel It’s an original Honda touring screen for the deauville. You can still get them try David silver spares or fowlers spares on Google. Make sure you get the one with the two holes at the bottom as a solid screen that big upsets the aerodynamics. Thanks for watching and glad your enjoying the vids

@biker 1k Thanks Graham Much appreciated, thought I detected a north east accent, I’m from Sunderland Cheers

Thanks boi

Hi mate yeah mine is all fine after about 6-7 months and over 3500 miles works perfectly and that was a £20 ebay special Tbh.

@@biker1k thank you for quick reply yes big saving on oem ones for sure. Tbh I bought a cheap rectifier ebay just last week and had to return it for refund. It had same fault as my own . Throwing 17.2 volts out I also have volt metre fitted. I checked diodes on new part with multimeter and 100% at fault yet I bought cheap rectifier 3 years ago and it was good. Luck of the draw i guess. Take it the 1 bolt fitting hasn't worked loose then?. I also seen the genuine rectifier on ebay for £100

@@johnshanks7902 it may well be luck of the draw. The bolt is still holding it well but I did use a nylok nut for added security and as I say no issues.

@@biker1k top man thank you again got me thinking how did you use a nylok nut as the mounting bolts bolt into the frame thread and well i have no way of fitting a nut on the end of bolt unless iam miss read you

@@johnshanks7902 ill double Che k tomorrow about the nylok nut and get back to you

Hi Peter Thanks for watching I ordered mine from ebay and the cost was £19.95

@@biker1k Wow, thats very cheap compared to dealer prices! is it still going well?

@@peterm5479 absolutely fine mate fairly constant on tickover at 12.8v and anything over 1500 rpm it's kicking out 14.4v even if I have heated grips.,extra driving lights (2 sets) and satnav plugged in.

Just some muppet from up north 😂

Hi it was only the dropping voltage I noticed. As soon a si sterted it it would stay at 14.4v for about 3 to 5 miles then drop to 12.6v. I had it on an iptimate every night so I don't know if this masked any other symptoms. That's the beauty of having a voltmeter you immediately notice any difference. Are you having issues with yours?

@@biker1k thanks for the reply fella, my 650 at the moment turns over but doesn’t start, I replaced the battery and she fired right up. The next morning I come out and it’s back to constantly turning over but no starting, so I’ve bought a new rectifier to see if it fixes the issue, any suggestions in the eventuality it doesn’t fix it ?.

@@baron5747 it's the best place to start mate If that doesn't work try the side stand and kill switch on handlebars and neutral switch. These are small contacts that can interfere with starting. Then check your stator using a multimeter. After that it's getting tricky then fault finding. My guess is it could be your regulator and for the cost it's not worth not changing it

@@biker1k Excellent, cheers mate - I will charge my battery and replace the rectifier and fingers crossed she'll be back to normal.

@@baron5747 let me know how you get on mate
