Where??

[/b][/QUOTE] is the most irritating problem... Change yr headlight to those which can be turn off type or if u like those one-eye jack than juz remove one of the bulb than the problem is solve... Not very sure abt this... Correct me if i'm wrong...
[/B][/QUOTE]
I still dun get u all...What has the rectifier got to do with the headlight???From what u i know is that RVF has a on/off switch for headlight...The real problem is that...The switch seem to be spoilt bery easly...The other problem is it is a bery hot bike...although the temp on the bike show normal but the rider will feel hot...U can try riding a RVF with shorts and slipper and u get what i mean...

according to some frens riding RVF, its rectifier konks out once every year. i think maybe its something to do with the circuitry? i heard dat RVF has dis infamous problem of having difficulty starting bcos of the IU unit, and maybe (just MAYBE) is somehow linked to the rectifier as well... its all part of the electrical stuff of the bike.
all hearsay... dun come say i talk like i know a lot. -
er alvin, what gameover said is as much as i know about it. apparently a friend of mine has found a solution for it, i'll try to ask him about it, if you're really interested. not wishing to sound like i know a lot either, but i just can't stand the way "honda" shot down gameover when he was just trying to help...Originally posted by Alvin rider79:l3stat....Maybe u can tell me what u mean by this lor...
"for your information, the rectifier on most RVFs are problematic. most RVF riders who've had their bikes for long and know their bike will tell you that."
Can u share this problem with me as i will like to know more...

but thats illegal leh. if i am not wrong the rectifier for suzuki gsx is better lasts longer. its the one with cooling fins. can be made to fit rvf by modifying the socket. i think most bike shops got do it. can try to askOriginally posted by TZR:i dono abt this theory, but when i bought mine, the bike is modified with a switch beside to make one side light only. Maybe its true lor.. hee -
ILLEGAL???? CFM ar???Originally posted by fp2075r:but thats illegal leh. if i am not wrong the rectifier for suzuki gsx is better lasts longer. its the one with cooling fins. can be made to fit rvf by modifying the socket. i think most bike shops got do it. can try to ask -
the illegal i am refering to is the one head light thing.Originally posted by MoNsTer:ILLEGAL???? CFM ar??? -
hi there man, i checked with my friend, and this is what he replied. he's a real technical person, who services his own NC35 for track use.Originally posted by Alvin rider79:l3stat....Maybe u can tell me what u mean by this lor...

>what exactly goes wrong with it?
Commercialization.
>how do you tell?
Mild defect - weak voltage reading across battery terminals, via multimeter. We need to rev the machine. Get it changed fast.
Serious Defect - Main fuse blows, bye bye Mr Rect. Until a new one is put on, machine gets stuck where Rect gets roosted. If your far away fm Sg, goodluck!
Corroded, oxidised connections btw rect and connector = resistance. Wires start melting.
A damaged rect basically kills the only way how excess voltages are dump, putting the stator/coil at risk.
>Solve the problem
Pentium P3 heatsink, thermal compound btw mating surfaces of heatsink and rect, plus cooling fan. relocation of rect fm "HOT" spots to somewhere cooler, if the stock wiring harness allows.
sorry i took some time...
