The more information you give us the better the advice we can give in return.

Guessing that you have a pointy (03+) SV650, with a blown reg/rec, that you have done all the charging tests on it, and confirmed that the reg/rec was the only fault. Assuming that the replacement reg/rec was known to be good before you added it, in what way did it not work?

Reg/Rec units are pretty universal, there's no real reason one from just about any 12V bike shouldn't be OK. Some need the output wiring modified as there are more wires than the standard unit has, some need plugs cut off and replaced.

i pust 2000, mines a 200o reg curvey.

basically it was kciking out 20.3 volts at 7k revs. put a honda ft one in but it kept getting very warm and still 17 odd volts at high revs, but it was old and may have been dodgy. so would the 92 cbr one with my curvey?

Apologies, missed that.

Is the 92 CBR one known to be functioning correctly? Has it been tested?

If it's working perfectly on the current bike, there's every chance it'll work on yours. The easiest possible install is an OEM or pattern reg/rec for a 99-02 SV650, but as stated, others can be made to fit. Bear in mind the reg/rec you're fitting is now 20 years old, so all bets on its longevity are off.

Rec is only couple of years old and off of a running bike.

I had a quick look on ebay, as I've no personal experience with that model, most components that come up look like this, which rather suggests you'll need a plug and to fabricate some wiring up to connect this to the bike.

Without knowing the number of pins etc, it's a little tricky to know exactly how easy it is, but I'm sure it's do-able. Any reason you're not using a part that's a straight fit? ebay has new parts for around £80, and plenty of 2nd hand ones for around £40.

yes hes got the plug with the wires on it, so thats not an issue

i get it this evening ill have a play then

I have this one on my 2002 curvy, needs no modifications and is a plug in fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2809110234...84.m1439.l2649 the only visible difference is it's much larger heatsink. The price is right too, they're supplied brand new in the box.

come on lets face it the regulator rectifier is the weak link in most bikes wether it be suzuki honda yamaha triumph etc,unless like the older bandits it part of the alternator,so why put a secound hand reg rec on,why not just put a new original fitment or as on a honda the uprated part ,you know it will work and will fit with out any alteration and will be good for another 20 or 30k

okay i put honda one on 14.1 volts at 17k revs think its sorted, going to fit it properly tomorrow, got for a little ride and check it when out, if all okay then jobs a gooden and cost me £0, if not then ill have to wait till payday and buy one
