Hi guys, just for all Honda 400cc riders's general knowledge regarding the Honda rectifier/regulator.

It is well known that the NC35/NC30 and many other Honda models' like CBR400RR, CB400SF Regulator/Rectifiers would often go bad and cause riders to get stranded without lights at night, and even completely stranded in the

middle of nowhere. Honda has done something about it.

 

Part numbers 31600-KY2-600, 31600-KY2-701, 31600-KY2-702,

31600-Ky2-703 and 31600-MV4-000 have now all been replaced by Honda part number 31600-MV4-010. This is an updated Regulator/Rectifier Genuine Honda Part now with cooling fins.

 

To order this improved part from where ever yo decide, you must quote the above part no.

 

This is how it looks like.

The price should not be more than $130 anywhere. But I think if you go to FJT you might be able to get it slightly cheaper.

 

You can do the installation yourself. If you know where the rectifier is on your bike, you need a screwdriver to loosen the holding screws and then disconnect the clips. Next clean the leads with a soft brush to remove any dirt. Clip on the new rectifier and screw bash the unit into the holder.

 

Oh yeah, please make sure you disconnect the battery and your ignition is off first. Take the negative (-) lead off. Then perform the above.

 

If you don't know where the rectifier is, I will tell you later.

 

What is your exact model CB400?

LAB sellin rectifier with fins for $65 self install. good as stock 1 coz been using close to 2 yr plus. symptom is dat ur batt wont recharge when the engine is running and ur light will go dimmer....finally bike wont start

advisable to buy batt and rectifier together. $140 at LAB

Hmm.. that's quite a bargain for $65 plus labour. However, I think it is safer to use the genuine one even though it's more expensive because you don't want the chiong part to potentially damege your battery which could cause extensive and even more expensive damage to the bike's electrical systems.

My bro buy from FJT last last cost $60 make in thailand, make in japan ones cost over $100 last year.

This is what i know....could be right or wrong, u decide.

 

The ones from LAb are the same as the ones u get from FJT etc etc for $130.

Why the price diff...i have no idea.

 

Why same product ?

 

1) LAB part got sticker(Orange foil sticker with the word SUN) pasted over the part number which is printed on the opposite side of the connector.

 

2) Original ones come without the sticker.

 

3) Both come packaged in bubble wrap.

 

4) Only original comes in Honda Original box with stickers and parts numbers.

 

5) Both made in Japan by the same company and have same part numbers.

 

Cheers !

a few ppl know even some agents and big bike shops buys stuffs from LAB and vice versa.

 

another info is, sometimes it's cheaper to buy original stuffs from LAB cuz he can get u better prices then directly going to the agent.

 

that's why he can't carry a few products and show them out.

cuz he's been banned to do so cuz way below market prices....

 

anyway to LAB !

Battery is located under the seat compartment (the big one)

Need to unscrew the cover first to access the battery,

 

Rectifrier is located in the side cover just above the gear shifter.

 

Remember to buy a Yuasa MF battery.

Read up on my article on how to properly activate a motorcycle batter
