    new rectifier problem

    Hey all i was excited about getting the bike together and went round to my mates to see all was ok.
    got their and smoke was coming out under the seat after cutting out half way up the hill!
    my rectifier had fried,litterally.
    got a new one posted out and today i extended the cables to it and have mounted it infront of the battery, will look at mounting a fan to it also, but the main 30A fuse had gone so replaced it and went to start the bike but its now blowing ignition fuses , im going to check all the wires we extended tomorrow but would the rectifier frying do any other damage> cheers guys.
    pics to follow shortly

    Build is looking good mate.. What year is that swing arm off? I would say that you have a short or a bad earth.

    my mate had the same thing on his blade. the rectifier needs to be mounted on the frame for heatsinking. he has his cable tied out of the way and it fied it. you can get heatsinking paste aswell. it came with my ignition module and it seems to work ok.

    pics update

    this is the bike at the moment




    i unplugged all the connections on my bike today to find out what was wrong. why it keeps blowing the ignition fuse.
    left them all out apart from the ecu and turned the key..pop..another fuse gone.. took out the ecu and turned the ignition on and it was fine so i plugged it all in one bby one, .side stand.. indicator realy neutral switch etc etc and finally the ecu..pop.
    guess my ecu has succumbed to the land of the dead after the rectifier cooked/
    new one ordered from fleabay to arrive next week.
    running my dads second bike an old ZZR1100 on a G plate 14000 miles! fantastic bike so comfy!!

    Are the rectifier and regulator a single unit in these? Have you tried putting an inline regulator on? It could be outputting too high a voltage.

    agree with jon here they are the bollox.
    also take an earth wire off the back of the plate your
    going to use as a heatsink and bolt it on to the battery earth.
    have read it on a few forums it helps the reg/rec
    so they say.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200731967952?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649

    ordered the above rectifier unit.
    and extended the cables to fit it infront of the battery and
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2306070871...84.m1439.l2649

    the fan can be cut in half to have a spare unit, bargain!!
    the rectifier is not mounted on a plate like it was before it just bolts onto the frame on a spare hole it had so sits off everything(make sence)?? does it need to be on a plate for heatsink reasons?
    where is the starter solenoid? i checked continuity between all i could on the bike with good old haynes at my side and the ones i checked seemed ok
    cheers guys im going to join the members as its been great on here and would like to do my bit!

    I did that fan conversion on my blade, dit'n work. Then Frank and Neil pointed me in the direction of the electrex world unit and I've not hand any trouble since. Frank raised a good point about the earth link back to the battery, and something you should do no matter what unit you use.

    The rectifier regulator should be mounted to a plate or the frame with heat sink paste between it and the mount to help wick away the heat the unit generates.

    The starter solonoid is the bit that comes off the live (red) terminal on the battery, and has a 30amp fuse in it.

    lastly, yes you should get a Haynes for you bike, I have one for every bike I've ever owned and fro the sake of 20 quid, they have saved me hundreds and taught me valuable info that expands my knowlge base.

    They have never improved my spelling, but thats another story,

    update

    well its been a while since i updated, bike is running well, got a slice of chequre plate and some heatsink paste, now rectifier is mounted infront of the subframe! works well.
    passed an mot today with the exhaust having no baffles! chain guard fitted the now for mot may leave it on lokos ok, had the fairing off for doing clutch plates and think a belly pan will look good when i do the front end anyone got some ideas on these>>?
    my speedo is not working but with the 52 tooth (AYE 52) it picks up quick in any gear specially racing M3's !!
    my solo seat came loose as the Yamaha quality aint up to Hondas! the plastic is bolted with 4 small self tappers to a base that clips into the subframe. so had to stick a bolt under the foam part to hold it together, works a treat,
    buld blew in number plate light when rectifier went so my dad hit the second hand shop and found a brand new caravan light for £2 and painted it black. looks and works fine!!

    update, no fairing now

    since my last visit i have made a few changes to my fireblade..
    stripped her down and gave the engine a good clean down. used plenty degreaser and the a drill with a pointed wire brush.
    got the frame powder coated, swing arm and a cnc machined billet top yolk with risers and Renthal Bars.
    929 forks, front wheel and discs on, still using the zx6 front fender.
    carbon heel plates.
    still want to change the lights but they do just now as spent out!! see what you think any comments or feedback.
