John01XX Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) So my regulator rectifier has gone south at 65,000 miles. Bought a new OEM replacement (I know Ricks is cheaper and better) I am having a hard time getting the needed room to remove the 2 connectors at the end of the pigtail through the subframe. Very tight fit between the battery box and the subframe. I got one of them through but the second (larger) one would not fit through so I cut the connector off in frustration since it was bad anyway. Now to get the new one routed in properly looks impossible without removing the battery box which is not something I want to do given the fuses, relays and wiring that is in the way. I am looking at routing the pigtail on the other side of the frame to avoid all the hassle of the battery box? thoughts? Your advice is much appreciated at this stopping point? I forgot to add that it is a 2001 with the 24 inch pigtail on the R/R Routes from the right rear side forward, then under the subframe and across to the left side, then up on the inside of the subframe.

ExPatXX Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 How do you tell whether it's the R/R or the stator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Here's my install - hope this can be of some help https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipO-bOxenYuxpY5llIOFo0nKgtkYu1RAdtAdW68g 404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know. How do you tell whether it's the R/R or the stator? I read AC voltage on all 3 legs of the Stator I got in excess of 75vac on each of the 3 legs with RPM Stator is putting out great AC voltage The R/R is just not giving me 14+ vdc for charging.

Zero Knievel Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Honestly, at 65K just go ahead and do the stator as well. I did the R/R and the stator went RIGHT AFTER I did the job. Would up replacing the R/R all over again as a preventative measure. Peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Took a break and got it figured out. The new R/R is in and routed properly :-) Now to get all the electric's back in place and I will be ready to ride again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
