400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
Sesman:
Probably an obvious point, but should the rectifier be in ‘open air’ rather than being fully enclosed. Just wondering if overheating and premature failure might be an issue?
Bryanj:
That is just the rectifier, the regulator is a seperate part with green, black and white wires going to it.
Just to add the first ebay is for a 400 twin which did have a combined unit and if you want to use a lithium battery you need a better, so more expensive, regulator to keep the charging voltagemore within the batterys limits, the standard Honda one is to course a setting
Sesman:
Sorry. Are you saying the rectifier doesn’t need to be in free air? I don’t recall mentioning the regulator?
ComfySofa:
cool - ok...so the suggestion is, keep the RR outside in airflow and get the new one on ebay?
Bryanj:
As long as its suitable for lithium battery yes, BUT remember one split second of wrong connection and its toast
