my bike has the same problem of oveheating rr I am on the second one. It burns them up then over charges my battery.I Checked the stator and it was fine. What the heck is the diode? 1992 cbr 600

The diode test function is on your meter...The meter will read in volts now instead of ohms(resistance).

Bringing this topic back up and have a question too:

After reading your great write up I have decided to get the suzuki 1000 regulator....now here is my question or statement....in your write up you mention 3 white wires on the cbr. I have 3 yellow wires a red one and a green one.. I guess my question is that it will still work the same correct? 3 yellow to the 3 black the red to the black/red and the green to the black/white?

Thanks for you help man...

Dennis

I have a 94 F2 and it has been killing batteries. My r/r was bad. I bought a suzuki 06-07 gsxr 600-750 r/r off ebay for $29. I thought it was the one with only 5 wires. It has 7 wires. I hooked it up anyways. It just has an extra set of pos & neg wires. I taped off a set. Tested it at idle and I got 12.9v. The voltage goes up just past idle to 5000rpms. The voltage went no higher than about 14.5 and at 5k it started to actually go down to 14. Revving the bike up to anything past 5k the voltage still hung back around 14v. My honda r/r was 12.3volts at the battery, engine off. Engine on it was 12.5volts. volts at 5k-6k only 12.3 or less. I could never get it to reach 13volts at any rpm. Someone on another forum did this also and has had no issues. Tomorrow I will ride it longer and test again.

What was the bike doing before you changed it? would it ride and then die?

The 1st problem I noticed was the 1st new battery would not charge fully when it was only 2 weeks old. My charger said it had an internal fault. I put another new battery in and after a week it would be dead when I went to leave work. I charged it again and it had the same fault as the first one. Then I checked the voltage at the batt engine on and engine off. Is it normal that the rectifier would get so hot that it would burn my finger if I touched it? While riding at slower speeds the bike would act like it was running out of gas. less than a month earlier I had removed the carbs and cleaned them and installed an inline filter.

Just a couple of hints to help with the R/R burnout problem. 1. Make sure the area where the mounting plate and frame come doesnt have any paint on it and use a high temp heat sink grease between them. 2. The ground wire on the CBRs is a pretty small gauge wire with a lot heavier gauge wire which will cause less resistance. The R/R sends extra voltage to ground, which creates heat. The less the resistance, the less heat it will create. 3. If you have an aftermarket R/R with cooling fins, go to Radio Shack and get a small CPU fan and attach it to the top of the R/R so it is blowing air onto it.

I have done all three of the things listed above and after riding for a few hours the R/R is still cool enough to touch.
