I spoke with Trent when ordering a Rectifier from ElectroSport and he was a great guy and helped me out. Now I am waiting on purchasing a Stator from them, because they do not currently carry my model. He said it should be two weeks or so. They are a great Company and I will definitely be using them when my OEM parts fail.

@unclevinnie9 12 лет назад

It's a pity I didn't come across you guys sooner. I have had problems with my ZX10R. It took Kawasaki here in England 3 months to provide me with a reg-rec. I had the stator rewound for half the cost of an OE part.It's worth knowing that a fault with one of these components will destroy the other one in a short period of time. I could find only one company in the whole of England to rewind my stator!

Awesome video! explained why my Suzuki DRZ died on the way home, and was undercharging a new battery.

@spanky522 6 лет назад

I know on a lot of Hondas (Shadows, etc.) the voltage regulators are a Shunt style, meaning it sends the excess power to ground, making them run so hot you can't touch them. And they don't do a very good job of keeping the battery fully charged, especially if you run any after market accessories (heated grips, driving light, etc.) I assume ElectroSport is selling a Mosfet style regulator, which is an excellent upgrade. I have one now and it really made a big difference keeping my battery charged. I can have a fully charged battery at idle with my accessories running and still have 13.5 volts reading on the battery gauge. If your voltage regulator has a model number starting with "S", it's a Shunt style and is junk. You want a mosfet regulator. you can get them on Amazon or ebay also. Also, e careful, there are a lot of foreign copies that say they're Mosfet replacements, but are NOT, just so you know. Do your research first.

We may as well be watching 2 penguins discuss calculus. LMAO !!!

@joserohan3050 8 лет назад

Hey!!! The excess voltage generated gets wasted up as heat due to the regulator/rectifier , can we actually use this excess voltage rather than allowing it to get wasted up ??

@billh5781 8 лет назад

At about 4:30 you guys discuss regulator/rectifier properties. Higher temp solder, higher amperage diodes and "beefier" circuit boards. ...roughly "half" the cost. If I install a higher output stator in my motorcycle, do I need to"upgrade my regulator/rectifier, or can I leave the old rectifier from the old lower wattage stator please?

@roger4375 2 года назад

I watched this video and was amazed at how little either person knew about the charging system of a motorcycle. This was (sort of) a video to sell a sponsors product. In spite of their combined lack of demonstrated knowledge, I did glean a couple of bits of information I had forgotten. The most important is to never engage in a recorded conversation when you know little or nothing about the subject, let the expert talk and explain. If you do engage, always ask the expert how it functions, don’t add your own spin on things hoping you’re correct. In this case the expert might be fantastic at making, designing or modifying the product but he wasn’t a good sales person and sounded like he was not knowledgeable about his own product.

I have a 2007 yamaha rhino 450. I love it, but I've been slowly adding new electonics and the battery keeps dying. Added a car battery to the stock (pos - pos, neg to neg), still wont run everything I'd like. Would this be an option I could use? Or anything cheaper would be good too. I have a yamaha credit card I'd rather use, but I dont know if this is they would even carry. I would greatly appreciate any advice or ideas.

I have a 82 kz1000 when I try and start my bike I have wires melting.I replaced the first wire and tried starting the bike then I had other wire start to melt these wires are going to a box under the battery Any suggestion where to start. Looks like maybe to much volts?

@odettamcnabb4151 9 лет назад

Bill Spalek it may be that your regulator/rectifier is under the seat and over working....try load testing your battery and make sure all connections are clean and tight,and that all cells in the battery are filled (you can add distilled water to the unsealed type,then 30 minute low amp charge to mix) if your main fuse didn't "blow" it may be a real trace down wire harness problem....start with the battery and load test.

I got a Susuki King Quad 700 I replace the batery one day on my way back home the quad just stop no juice to started up , I connect the charger to this new batery and start's up quick , seems like is the Rectifier I guess , my brain dead brother told me the Voltage when is on has to be 14.2 around if not the Rectifier is gone, I will appriciatte if someone know's if there's a hidden fuse or anything like that, thanks for the help guys

@rehkta8207 8 лет назад

does the rectifier affects the engine rev? like the rpm wont go up after 9000rpm when running?

@CruiserCustomizing 8 лет назад

The rectifier should not affect the revs.

@pwalowen 5 лет назад

Can one of these cause a parasitic see? As soon as I touch it to ground my meter shows a crazy dead short?

@anthonykrusel349 4 года назад

Yes. If a diode is bad in the R/R, it will act as a direct short. A diode operates as a one-way valve--allowing forward voltage in one direction only. So, when diode fails, it may allow "backflow" of power from battery to alternator--ever ponder the difference between a generator and a motor?

@cgrizzle3 10 лет назад

I bought a stator for my 2004 Honda shadow sabre and replaced it. I still am not getting a charge and im wondering if its my charging rotor? I havea good ohm reading on all three yellow wires, but when I start the bike not all three yellow wires test around the same voltage. Would a rotor cause this to happen? Or did I get a bad stator for electrosport?

@BacktheBlue70 7 лет назад

CAINE GRIFFUS did you get your problem corrected? im having the same problem with my honda shadow aero 750, 2005

@17405pop 12 лет назад

ZX10r Rectifier/Regulator/Stator problems??? Mine cost over €1100 to fix on a trip from Ireland to Brno in the Czech Republic. The 1st fix (New regulator) in Brussels didn't work & the bike stopped again just as I got off the Euro Tunnel in the UK. The lads in Daytona Motorcycles Ruislip managed to do the job properly and it got me home. I've used the bike for about 1500 kilometres since with no problems but, I feel it was big bucks spent for a relatively small problem.

@keithandrea1125 8 лет назад

2014 polaris 900 ranger. no charging .stator tested good, battery tested good, regulator tested , .000,.000,.000 and .542,.552,.548 , switched leads and tested .000..000,.000 and .000,.000,.000. according to every video on youtube that is a bad reg. bought new one tested before plugging it in tested exactly the same. put it on and it is charging just fine . whats up with that

@pipedreams57 3 года назад

I usually get around 13.7 volts from rectifier and stator to the battery when all is well.

@edwardvega9089 8 лет назад

What happens if I mount a 35 Amp. reg/rec on a bike that originally had 22 Amp one? (it's a yamaha r6r 2010)

@CruiserCustomizing 8 лет назад

You always run the risk of damage if you install a non-stock regulator. What benefits are you looking to get from the higher amperage rectifier.

@edwardvega9089 8 лет назад

+Cruiser Customizing Video I have hid lights, and when both ventilators turn on, all the bikes voltage go down for a sec. I thought a stronger R/R would fix that.

@CruiserCustomizing 8 лет назад

You would likely benefit more from a higher output alternator/generator.

82 Honda V45 turned engine off after ride went to start to put away for the evening no power at all. Found 3 burnt connectors coming from regulator/rectifier repaired them. Battery good no electric nowhere lights, horn, electric pump when turning key over no juice. No problems leading up to this main fuse good cant find any other problem visually.?????

@pnwoods 10 лет назад

The 3 yellow burned connectors are a common problem with the early V4's. When they melt and touch, your stator shorted. It's toast, and will not charge the battery. A working replacement is required. Fixing the wires accomplished nothing. Join a V4 SabMag forum. Lots of information. Fix is to replace the stator, & then SOLDER the 3 yellow wires to the 3 yellow rectifier/regulator wires. Shrink wrap and keep them insulated from each other with electric tape. Otherwise, the bike will die out in the middle of nowhere on you.

@lupenavarro2811 8 лет назад

I will like to know why does my dashboard on Yamaha R1 YZF R1 does not want to turn on there is no power when I turn my key ignition I was driving it good until I turned it off went back one hour later to turn it on and there was no power going through

@CruiserCustomizing 8 лет назад

@Zeppelinzulu 5 лет назад

installed brand new stator, RR and battery in my ZZR600 D (after having charging issues replacing the individual components one at a time) both the RR and the stator are from the same manufacturer (Electrix) so you would think it would be working perfect....Nope! It overcharges and the voltage accross the terminals fluctuates peaking at 17-18V when the revs are high. I've looked all over for shorts/ checked the earths, but no cigar it all looks fine. pulling my hair out here!!

@sandybriggs1795 7 лет назад

Riding a 1984 Honda VF 750F Interceptor - battery had died on it, so I bought a new one, but it loses all its energy when I'm out for a ride - very difficult to restart the bike, sometimes have to put it in gear and pop the clutch. Very frustrating. Thinking that it might be the stator ?? Thoughts ??

@UCBproduction 12 лет назад

@itscloudyagain - i changed my stator and also my regulator rectifier. If the battery is not keeping charge then its most likely the regulator rectitfier. You can get one for a good price at DietzRacing, its an online store based out of Arizona. My bike runs great now

@BeyondWrittenWords 2 года назад

Same thing here with Honda, it puts out 18-19volts, overcharging and cooking the battery with new chinese reg/rec. What might be the problem

Does anyone have any thoughts!

@jameshoward3130 10 лет назад

Keep a weekly check on your battery terminal tightness and you may never need to repace the stator, rotor, regulator or all the above.A loose bat term, equals more work for volts thus more heat more resistance a visious circle starts can be very costly but easy to repair. Almost all faiures are from a loose terminal or dead cell in the battery, thus more work for the stator/regulator the rotor (magnetic part) is hard to hurt.. My 90 Softail will run at least 50 miles on just a full charge...... I you must do this to get home orhelp please unplug the regulator from the stator plug or you will will burn up your regulator.. I got down to 6 volts got home , charged the battery to 14 volts and took off to the harly shop 2 miles away and my regulator plug melted poof no reulator! I leared this the hard wayagain.

I've put dozens of GoldWing stators in and on a GoldWing especially the GL1200 you have to cut the coupler off and hardwire the yellow stator wires .. I'm not sure this guy knows that much .. LOL .. The stator JUST puts out AC power anywhere from 30 vac to 60 vac depending on what make/model bike/ATV ... Most street bikes and ATV's are 3 phase meaning 3 yellow wires on a Honda .. You can actually put different reg/rec on most bikes depending on what battery you have like just a wet acid battery or a gel or mat battery ..

Electrosport is garbage. Their wires are a thinner guage, as well as the stator itself. I will never purchase another piece of shit from them again. It literally lasted 3 months on my honda vfr800. Do yourself a favor and burn your money, rectifier, and a battery if you're thinking of buying any stator from these guys. You'll get the same outcome.
