Is it possible to use rectifier/regulator from another bike?

[w00t]

As mentioned in the title, would that be possible? Since the purpose of the RR is just to rectify the voltage from AC to DC, and regulate the voltage to 15volts?

 

 

Any side effects, and damage? haha the RR for my bike is a little too exp, so I would like to source for alternatives.

You can use one from a truck if the voltage is the same.

 

Just get the wiring right.

That could be pushing it too far as most diesel trucks are 24vdc

Not if they are diesel pickup trucks ......

[RYANS]

of cos is possible... example.. RVF can use GSX400 retifier...

[w00t]

alright so if my bike requires 12volts, i can just get another RR from another bike thats 12volts?

 

 

Or do I have to take note of any ampere ratings?

[Nok97]

yes..you can

a blkbird done with a busa recti N a zx12 done with a blkbird recti before

[kwanheng]

yups so long the wiring is rite and the voltage is correct should not blow anything up.

[FunkyChicken]

wow. interesting, wanna try a busa on my k7 then. but my current rectifier has 2 wires only. anwyay does the ampere differ for diff kind of bikes?

I tried to connect a S4 rectifier to my Shadow Aero 750. The rectifier of the S4 got hot so I knew it wasn't successful. I had to use back the stock rectifier and order a spare one just in case

hi...... will you show me the rectifiers - i can try to to customize a unit ..............

I can though but I still prefer to use the stock unit

[mepkoh]

all electrical components/parts have basic infor..

like Voltage, Capacity..this will tell you how "big" a load u can use the part..

for rectifier same make sure voltage use sama sama. and the capacity same or bigger than sure no problem..

 

like use S4 on wave..sure ok...

use wave on S4..sure kaput..

[Ah Chi]

Let me give you a stupid answer. I am 100% sure, if they are from the same model bike.

Hi Guys, I have two used Vulcan 1500A rectifier /regulator to let go at RM250-00 each excluding shipping. My vulcan had problem starting up even after a long ride and initially I thought was a faulty battery. After doing some reading on the forum, I realised that the fault lies in the rectifier/regulator as the battery was not being charged even when I was riding ...that drains the battery and caused the difficulty in starting up after even stopping for fuel.

 

The rectifier/regulator may fit other Vulcan models like VN750 as well but you need to check first.

 

PM me if you are interested.

 

Ride safe.............
