3 Phase Rec...worth a shot?

That's just the rectifier. You'y still need to buy a regulator.

 

I don't recall the P/N right now - but you can likely get a combined automotive solid state regulator/rectifier for that money or less. It will be compact, robust, waterproof and work perfectly.

I bought the one from MikesXS (running and hiding now....) and while it did cost around $70 CDN, it really does work fine. Many folks have gotten the same or equivalent part for less than half that much.

 

$12.00 three phase rectifier........ and matched to a vr794..............that's what i read..........Good deal.........don't think the extra Amps matter.......may still need to attach a heat sink???

 

I like the screw terminals vs the usual 1/4" spades.

My own adventures taught me to stay away from no-name cheap rectifiers. This one isn't too cheap, though. I ended up paying about 12USD for the Windy Nation rectifier on my bike. Chinese manufacture, I'm sure, but a bit more QC than the $2 jobs that go direct to online auction by the gross.

 

That diagram is for a TCI ignition Bike.......Is your bike a US import 80 and later, (TCI), or Aus Compliance plate points model.

Rectifier and automotive a direct swap as per diagram Points set up



The diagram with of those rectifiers are single Phase that's why there are 2 of them On yours there should be a + (red wire), and - (black wire and the other three are for the white wires

Yes, there were two versions of the 650 charging system, each using a different type of regulator, but the rectifiers used by both were the same.

 

Here's the TCI version and what you need to acheave

 

Link working for me. I can't upload the pic because its 5twins photobucket account

 

Here's cycleranger's one.......a 5twins knockoff

 

Well I'll be, looks like photobucket is free hosting again. Guess their greedy money grab didn't work out as well as they'd hoped, lol.

 

Photo bucket has been visible/available for ages.......Used to be able to download pics...........since they became visible again they have stopped the downloads.

Didn't make any difference as i had a fix that opened them up when they had the blackout
