Hawk Rectifier
It looks like my rectifier has gone bad. Everything checks out, but, the voltage is too low when the stock headlight is on. No problem now that I have a 5 COB LED, but, I still want to replace the rectifier.
Which rectifier would you recommend? Is there a Honda/Kaw/Zuk OEM one that will work? I wish the forum search engine worked better, I know this has already been discussed, but, I can't find it. |
Mofset one off a yamaha sport bike. Id recommend a used one off ebay. Read forums were people order kits and the rectifier is a knock off. 2009 - 2014 yamaha r6 or r1 have the newer skinny ones.

Right now only half my rectifier bridge works so it can only support 1/2 the wattage.

I know you shouldn't use a Hawk's rectifier in a TT250 because the TT250 is higher wattage, but, I'm struggling to think of a reason why I can't use a TT250's in a Hawk. Can you think of any? |

I would personally like to relocate the reg/rec closer to the battery. Shorter run of wires all around, lower resistance. Where it is situated on the frame under the tank toward the front exposes it to engine heat a bit more than I would like. |

Ive done it to two of my bikes. Hyosung gtr650 and hinda vfr. |
'09-'14 are the best. You can go older but theyre a lot bulkier.
Different bikes, but pretty much the same. https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...er-swap-14380/ http://www.stromtrooper.com/maintena...#/topics/60842 https://youtu.be/tvhaOHUjy3g |
ok, I got one pulled from a 2009 R1
http://www.ebay.com/itm/132003673748 and, after much consideration, I purchased a connector kit (I was considering normal spade connectors and then hot-gluing them, but, I don't know how well hot-glue would hold up with the engine heat) http://www.ebay.com/itm/232155567732 |
Yup. FH012 or FH020 rectifiers. Dont forget to add an inline fuse or a reset breaker like in the vid. Also add a thicker guage wire from the negative battery post to the frame.
Always best to go with sealed connectors. I'd redo all connectors with them. |
I might even follow Megadan's advice and relocate it.

Mosfet units run a lot cooler. They can generally get by in a non direct airflow path, as long as there is enough airflow to vent the area they set in. That said, for reg/rec life, the cooler the better. Don't take what I said as advice, just something I would like to do.

I can't make sense of the wiring to the existing R/R. Green and Red go to the battery, Pink and Yellow to the Stator, but, the Black one goes somewhere else. What the heck do I do with the black wire?
