Urgent help needed - RF900 voltage regulator

**megarich** · 3rd January 2007, 10:17

Hi all,

I am in urgent need of locating a voltage regulator for my RF so I dont fry any more batteries.

I have been around the bike shops and Auto Electicians with not luck.

Does anyone know where I can source one?

Cheers

Gidday, maybe try your local marine shop or aircraft engineer? They often have pretty specialised components and lots of knowledge. Have you tried overseas bike sites? All the best!

Tried your local bike wrecker? Probably other models that will be compatible as well.

Try here http://www.japmcdismantlers.co.nz/index.html
The have the largest Suzuki parts list I can think of.
Are you sure its the volt reg you need? Most common problem is alternator giving up and then no charge to battery.

Hi, definately regulator, Ím getting 25-30V at the battery which is why it is frying.

Had reg tested today and confirmed.

Hi

Pretty sure that virtually any three phase jap bike regulator would do.

I'll download the circuit diagram if I can find it on the net, and let you know. I'm on dial up during the holidays... so it may take a year or two...

**davereid** · 3rd January 2007, 13:06

found the manual alright, but cant download it - exceed my quota at http://www.repairmanualclub.com as download kept crashing.

Anyone wanna fax or email me the wiring diagram ?

If you want a new one, Mt Eden bring in Shindengen (used on Hondas, Ducatis etc.) and several other bike shops here get them from Eurobike. Otherwise, if it's more urgent than that, just get a tidy one from a wrecker. Any late-ish model one will do.

Off topic, I know...

What's with the "disposable motorcycles" bit???!!! Surely you refer to 'zookis! Found in any good hedge or culvert!

No! Perish the thought.
Just that KB went through a "phase" when the mating ritual of zuk's and ditches was in full swing.........

Yeah remember that. One KBer in particular I bet.

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies

Got a price for one from a genuine part - $321.00 + gst ex Japan

Talked to an Auto Sparkie and came up with a suitable replacement for $36.00.

Uses a standard Bosch regulator mounted remotely with fly leads into generator.
