Default ZX6R Reg/Rec on Curvy?

I notice nobody mentions using a reg/rec from a ZX6R for the upgrade on a curvy.
Does anybody know any reason why you can't, as I'm lead to believe they are fitted with mosfets from 2007 onwards.

There is an extra wire on some Kawasaki rectifiers - see this very good article about R/R options:

http://www.triumphrat.net/speed-trip...upgrade-2.html

Note: that link picks the article up at page 2 (which covers the Kwak option) but the whole article is worth a read.

Thumbs up Re: ZX6R Reg/Rec on Curvy?

Cheers for that.

Excellent link thanks.
Think I might try one as the're alot cheaper than a CBR600 one and there seems more of them around ( on ebay anyway ).

Yeah, I saw your original post but it seems too good to be true.
I didn't want to be the first to try one and find I'd melted the loom and batteries, plus I've never done one before so I thought I'd play it safe and get a part known to work.
Would be interesting to know how they perform though.

If it works, don't touch it. If your reg/rec fails, then replacing with a different part from a different bike which has a more reliable history.

Only advantage to doing this is they are better built and won't fail (as quickly) as the SV's standard one.

Mines kapput, that's why I'm gonna upgrade it for a better built one.
As Scythe92 says, if it ain't broke don't touch it.
