I think I've heard of people using a CBR reg/rec, but I'm certainly not the person to say if its worth it, I'm no good at this stuff.

Incidently, Dave numbers, not only does your bike look like mine it appears that we're having very similar problems aswell.

lol the curse of the yellow curvy. Crashing, choke plungers, clutch cover leaks, brakes and electrics. Yay's

Been lucky with corrosion so far though *touch wood*

Cheers I'll see what other people say about the cbr one.

Aye, if thats the problem then there is really nothing else you can do!

Might be worth waiting for an sv yoda to confirm it as the reg/rec before I throw more money at this bike., but it's looking like it isn't it.

Dave you need to test the alternators output at the bike side not the reg-rec. You have done and found 70 odd volts, this shows with a reasonable degree of certainty that the alternator is providing power for the reg rec to reg-rec for you.

12v with the engine at 5krpm. (sorry) did you have the connectors to the reg-rec connected? If so, then the regs fried.

Don't use a normal SV reg-rec. They're mince. Use a CBR600 one, I think mine was from an 04 or something like. Much higher rated unit and better quality wiring. You will need to change the plugs on it though.

Cheers chris

Yeah the reg/rec was connected when I tested the across the battery at 5krpm.

Cheers for that - cbr600 reg rec it is. Will the year matter do you know?

Looks the same as mine aye, I think mine was from an RR but I know the CBRF ones have been used successfully.

Like I say you will need to change the plugs.

Dave20046 · 12-04-09, 05:28 PM

It actually looks like there's more than 3 wires going to that white plug

That shouldn't be a problem I'll just cut them off my ballsed one.

EDIT: no there isn't there's 3 going to the white plug and 4 going to the black plug. I take it the white plug should be replaced with my current 3 pin plug and the balck plug replaced by the 2 pin one and like combine the wires or something???

yorkie_chris · 12-04-09, 05:31 PM

More than 3? Looks more like a bit of sleeving to me. Same plug as what I chopped off mine...
