VCRS AGAIN!

[johnbirchjar]

Hi guys,way back in December when my VCR probs were in vogue ,"Tony" posted a link about Yambits, and the R/R from Yam:900,well, seeing as I am getting all sorts of grief from Electrex World re: the R/R replacement they sent me I thought I may have to look elsewhere,looking at the pic:of the Yam 900 R/R I noticed a block connector(which the Commander hasn't got +few extra wires,namely a Brown and a Green)do they have to be used?and can anyone recommend a alternative to Electrex World(their "After Sales Service" is positively dire) for a R/R replacement?getting a bit fed up,J.B

So much for Elc:World ,any recommendations for a replacement Reg:Rectifier will be most welcome(A/N don't list any,nore do's Graham )rgds,J.B.

Come on guys!someone must know who supplied the original R/R's for the Police/MOD Commander's J.B.

JB,
Someone always knows - Norton bought the generator and regulator direct from Kokusan in Japan. Both were also used on the twin-rotor aero engines.
R.

Thanks for the info: Richard.
I don't suppose you know the model/part number?
I have been "surfing the net" trying to get some answers, with little or no success,AND is it crucial that the R/R is able to handle 370w(most of them seem to "Max Out" at 300w)surely there must other bikes out there that have high cap:generators?especially the enduro/touring models with all the modern electric gizmo's?a getting very frustrated,J.B.

JB,

Did you try:

Moto-Electrical
Wymondham Business Centre
Eleven Mile Lane
Wymondham
Norwich
Norfolk
NR18 9JL
UNITED KINGDOM
Phone - +44 (0) 1953 603420
Email - sales@motoelectrical.co.uk

[johnbirchjar]

Yep,They couldn't help,I shall just have to keep looking.
It would appear that 370w is not that powerful compared to modern machines ,4& 500w is the modern norm.perhaps I will fit one of them ,but they seem to have lots more wires than the five that I require.
I tried contacting Kukusan direct,no luck there either.J.B.

JB,

Moto electrical have a Mosfet RR for £132.90, it has 7 wires, three yellow, two red and two black, it has a max charging rate of 50 amps/500 watts far more than the output of your alternator so will work well within its max rating.

The three yellow wires will be the connected to the alternator I think you can connect together the two reds and the two blacks or just use one red and one black but just in case call Moto and ask them.
