Can anyone advise on changing from a Regulator to a Regulator / Rectifier.

Following a problem starting the bike, i charged the battery up and found the charging voltage went from 13.7 to over 17 volts at about 4,000 rpm - Regulator problem.

Z Power advised the regulator is no longer available, and i now have a nice shiny Regulator / Rectifier with the same Green Plug, a black earth and a white wire, which i think should be connected to the white wire that was connected to the standard Rectifier unit ???

Question is, what do i do with the White plug, now that its function has been replaced with a combined unit? Is it OK to just remove the old rectifier and leave the white plug blank?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I blanked mine off with a heat shrink cover

Thanks

I will take that as, Yes, its OK to just remove and forget.

Great service we get in this club, 7 minutes for the answer, top stuff.

My wife says I'm much quicker than 7 minutes!!!

KwackerNut, just for interest, both the green and the white plug are wired the same. So, either would do to connect to the Rect/Reg combo. As Puddin says, it is a good idea to blank off one of them or just disconnect the single rectifier.

Have done a few trips on her now and she seems to be OK.

Will make sure the white plug is blanked, as i have removed the single rectifier unit.

Voltage across the battery goes from 13.5 to about 14.7 at 3,500 rpm and above, which I thought was a bit high. Any ideas, or is this standard?

Checked voltage across battery meself `tother day. 14.7 at 4000rpm with lights off. Anything below 15 is fine.

Thanks Sweptail

Always good to get a second opinion.
