CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Following on from my thread 'https://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63432',
I have fitted the GENUINE CBR 600 Rectifier and it works!
What I also like is the fact it doesn't get hot and didn't get above 14.9 volts, so hopefully be able to get out on the bike with Karen.
Here is a picture of it fitted.
As always many thanks to all who contributed to sorting this problem out, this place is the best.

AWesome! Glad you got it working.
That rectifier is much better than stock in terms of charging capacity @ Idle. It's a nice upgrade

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Well good....but 14.9 seems a tad high doesn't it? I figure 14.3 to be the optimum....but what do I know.

I've just got to get an M.O.T. on Wednesday so will check again when it's been for a run, don't know how but it may help. The voltage did drop to about 14.6V if I turned the headlight on, so very close to being ok, at least it's not 16+V anymore. May have to try another battery, but don't want to spend more if not necessary.

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Just checked the manual and the charging rate should be between 14V and 15V, so I am within the specs, albeit towards the upper limit.
As always, thanks to everyone who has kept (awake) with me on this thread and my other one!

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Mine peaks in the high 14 volts as well but spends most of its time in the mid 14's when revs come up, even at high 14's it's still better than the mid to high 15's it had before. Just curious but does that CBR600 reg/rec do away with that black sense wire?

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Yes it does. I'm pretty sure that was where the problem was with the original style rectifier. I changed the ignition switch, but there are other routes the black (sense) wire went to, but all my cables are in pretty rough shape. When I cut back to make a new connection, I never find shiny copper cable.JSBail wrote:Just curious but does that CBR600 reg/rec do away with that black sense wire?
The CBR rectifier works in a different way, don't ask me how, but you don't need the sense wire, but anyone with the idea of fitting one needs to make sure they get the genuine item and not a Chinese copy off Fleabay, like I did!
I also replaced the wiring from the rectifier to the battery, including a new earth to the battery negative post.

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
Although mine is working now and I really shouldn't mess with something if it isn't broke I like the benefits the more modern reg/rec has over my current one. I don't plan on doing the swap right away but will plan on it in the future. Thanks for the info.

Re: CBR 600 Rectifier fitted and working!
That's my philosophy normally, but I noticed something was up when the three yellow wires started to smoke, and they felt very hot.JSBail wrote:Although mine is working now and I really shouldn't mess with something if it isn't broke
