Rectifier blower fan mod

@601motofun

sorry but if the rect get so hot that you fear that it may melt the tail cover,
there is something totally wrong in your electric system!

in my mind your fan is a kind of a nice fumbling around but without any sense.
a standard rect, working as usual, always gets a bit warm - i never measured yet but i suppose up to ~45°C, because it gets untouchable "warm".
general friendly note: ;)
your skin warns you allways when something is hotter than ~ 40 -50 ° C.

what i - as strong as possible - recommend - at the gen1 - is
to look (once every year1) for the rect´s connector (in the tail) if it got - how ever - melted
and look 4 the yellow wire 3-point conn. under the tank.

yes once a year control or you may (will) have this view :

(the rect´s conn i cut of and took 5 1-point conns to repair - the rect. itself was not demaged at all)

and

typical signs?

voltage at iddle ~ 13.6 V
increasing to ~2500 rpm the voltage drops to ~ 12.6 V

so i had it several times already - at 1st at my old ´00 gen1
and i suppose at my current ´00 gen1 i have one or both of the above pictured issues too
its brand new battery don´t get loaded. :(
 
I agree, if the regulator fry's it's one of two things, to much load, or loose connections on the plugs.
As someone else stated, a Mosfet regulator is an excellent upgrade.
Here a link to where to get the parts to upgrade to a Mosfet regulator, R/R Connectors

All helpful information for someone, I'm sure of it. But I never said anything about worrying that the "tail cover" would melt.

Not sure where you got that idea from??:confused:
No hard feelings but sounds more like a problem YOU are having Haha!

I knew that a lot of others had issues with the connector but didn't know about the other signs regarding the voltage fluctuation so thanks for sharing that. Yeah it sounds like you have a persistent problem with this. I hope you figure out how to fix it. I know to inspect my 3 way connector frequently, and as soon I got the bike I cleaned the connector and put some silicone lube in ONLY the back side of it.

AND I definitely need not worry about the 5 way connector or anything in the frame cover (or as you call it "tail cover") melting or overheating because....well....

BLOWER FAN
:cool:
