ST1100 reg rec on curvy
Hi Folks,
I've got a 2000 SV650SY. For completeness (and to prove that I read the instructions) it has a Piper air filter, intiminators, KX10R rear shock, pointy inlet cams and an R6 throttle tube, but none of that will affect the question. When I bought the bike the battery was distinctly dodgy. I replaced it and all was well until I took the bike out for a track day a couple of weeks back. The track day was fine, but the "new" battery wouldn't start the bike the next day, or after a full cycle on the optimiser. A quick check revealed that it was charging at a nice 14.8V at 5000rpm but up to 18V at 8000rpm. In short it looks like the reg rec isn't doing it's thing and I've fried the battery. I happen to have a nearly new Electrex one from an ST1100 in my shed, but the darn thing has seven wires on it. I'm ok with the idea of a battery live and a live after the ignition switch, but unclear on the remaining one. Has anybody fitted a seven wire to a curvy, or found out that you can't? I've found a few threads on reg rec in general but nothing addressing this problem. Cheers |

The generator on a pan is heavy-duty.its got a extra winding (Feild coil that basicly replaces the magnets in your system)and is more like a cars altinator sytem .

The question is whether the reg rec controls the output via the field coil (which I doubt, but I could well be wrong) or whether it works conventionally, in which case can I just ignore the field coil wiring and use it anyway. |

Re: ST1100 reg rec on curvy
Id plump for a decent mosfet one that can shunt the power.
Last thing anybody wants to see is a fried stator.
