Xt600e Difference in reg/rec

Hi, my bike is having problems charging. Its only holding just above 12v without the lights, which means it discarges the battery...

I've cleaned all wires/connecters, but have yet to meassure the stator, I hate electric problems.

I have my eyes on the regulater/rectifier. I locked at kedo, and 1990-1995 and 1996-2003 has different partnumbers. Does onyone know what changed? Did it get better, new plug, what?

My mate has a xtz660, with a spare bike for parts and it has the same partnumber as the 1990-1995, so I have the oppertunity to borrow one for testing.....But mine is a 2003 :/ Does the plug fit for testing, i know its physically bigger, that doesnt matter, as its only for testing.

Thx

Hello Jens

I have 1990 and 2003 models in the garage and from memory I am pretty sure that the plugs and pin arrangement are the same in both. The difference is the metal outer casing with cooling fins on the 2003 compared to the metal/resin case on the 1991.

Regards - Alastair.

If its the reg/rec try these guys....I bought all my stuff from them...reg/recs...alternators....rotors and stators......cos I have lots of Honda and the electrics are shite! ...I think somewhere on their site they have a fault diagnostic chart to help you find out the problem,.......don,t be afraid of the electrical problems,the more you mess around the more you learn...good luck.

I use mostly rectifiers from the newer XTZ 660 the older ones have the same one as the 90-95 XTs the newer ones have a big fat one, never had trouble with on of those. You must feed ignition + (easy to get from your rear brake switch) and change the conection 3 x from stator, + to battery , + from brake light switch, minus to chasis. And you must make a plan to bolt it on with a bracket
