How To: "fix rectifier plug"

[crazzybaby]

well looks like i am going to test out this how to this weekend. I fried mine really bad. three of the plugs are done. so i will let you know how it turns out

[crazzybaby]

yeah this is how not to fry your plug and voltage rectifier and plug. but now if my battery will charge i will be good to go.

and i did it all by myself. ROCK ON

[aptd]

holy crap, THATS BURNT...

Have fun with that one.

on either this board or the old board someone posted a part number for this exact plug from somewhere like partsfish....i will try to find it for thise of you with really badly burnt plugs.

You must really have some munchkin hands to be able to pull out the rectifier. I feel your pain though, I went through it a couple months ago. Although, I had to only replace one of the female ends..................why does this sound so much like a perverted sex post???

this just happened to me the other day.

So thats...ahhh...rectifier/regulator thing-a-ma-gig-dew-hicky.

I had to push my bike home! Luckly i was on my way home from the twisty 2-hour tour. I pushed bertha 1km home. People were driving by laughing. I couldn't see there smiles (to exhausted from pushing, to look up). One jackass said "Suck's to be you buddy!" I was pissed to say the least.
I was coming up on 15,000km and there had been zero maintance to the regulator plug. I'm now positive from all the threads on this site that due to a lack of dieelectrical grease, high rpms, hard riding, then sitting in traffic, heating up, blank speedo, turns off an on when drawing power by using brake lights turn signal, these were but a few of the symptoms.
after inspecting the plug the evidence was clear, burnt and crispy..just the way I don't like my regulator to be. Kewl I love modifactions. Magiver is my middle name. It's fun and easy when there's lots of threads and pictures. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO POSTED pictures they were very helpful...made it ano-brainer.

yeah mine looked similar to crazzybabys, not as fried tho, i have an r1 rectifier on mine, the wires accuatly come out of the rectifier with a male plug at the end of the wires. vs. the r6's male plug being right on the rectifier. i then just cut off the plug on the r1 rectifier and spliced the wires (or hardwire) havent had a problem since.

I cut out the burnt part of the plug namely the black and red. I cut them, and attached a female connector. I left the 3 white wires and the plug intact. I added some dieelectrical grease for good measure.

I tested the voltage and I'm good. The regulator is still hot as a mofo. I'm concerned. I need a relocation or cooling solution. i see the fan plan thread and the put it under the tail relocation. I want to see the 2006 where they put them.

the 2006 is up front by the forks.

can you be descriptive please. what is the regulator attached to? frame? does it have the three white wires from the stator? does the r/r still have male connections with a female plug. is in an free flowing air space. have they mounted it near a fan?
