Thank you for your KZfaq videos. I’ve been watching a lot of them. I have a 2006 Suzuki 700 king quad. My original problem was the quad would run for 5 to 10 minutes and stall. I might get it to start again, but it would run for less than a minute and install again. I was told to unplug the stater from the rectifier and see if it would continue to run. And when I started to unplug it, I noticed the plastic connectors that connect the wires together was melted together from excessive heat. I actually ended up cutting the connector off From the three Phase stater. The quad would start and continue to run fine with the wires separated. I did not want to get an aftermarket rectifier for around $25. So I ordered a rectifier from RM Stater in Canada for a little over $100 and installed that on the quad started it up and after a few minutes the new wire connector, which came with the rectifiers would begin to get hot. It would get so hot that I couldn’t touch it so I separated the connectors again and that’s where I’m at right now with my problem. What would be your recommendation for me. Should I do some more testing on the stater or do you think that I’m going to have to buy a OEM rectifier to solve my problem. After I received the rectifier from RM stater, I saw that it was made in China, which was pretty discouraging.

Ok, here's a project for you to figure out because I don't understand this problem at all. I have a 05 trx350fm Honda Rancher 4x4. So here's the problem, the atv had been setting outside for at least 4 yrs. so I got it and cleaned it up and replace a lot of things on it, but when I rebuilt the starter and put it in the 4 wheeler, well when I try to crank it I can here the starter but it's not turning the motor over. So I took it back off and put my finger in the starter hole and could fell a gear. The gear will turn clock wise easily (clockwise looking at it from the back of the motor). So I took a digital caliper and mic the distance from the gear to where the starter would be if mounted, I also mic the length of the starter gear and the starter gear is plenty long enough to reach the gear inside of the motor. So I'm at a point to where I have no idea what to do. I would certainly appreciate any bodies help with this. Thanks.

Not sure if I will get an answer here but first of all thank you for the video. Its been a while I did this and I wanted to fresh up my memory. I have a fairy new stator installed but its not charging. I tested both Stator and Regulator. While I get equal readings on Ohm at the stator, I only get good voltage on two of three cables. The 3rd was very low. I am not sure if its charging anything at all like that but Im guessing no. Also when I test it on ohm from all 3 cables to ground I get a reading on all 3. I dont think im supposed to get any reading right?

John; I have a '96 Honda 400 Foreman that has given me superior service for the last 20 plus years. Last year while hunting we began to experience problems with the engine running ragged once it got hot and when we increased the RPMs it would completely die. I hauled it to a reputable shop that has worked on Honda products for the last 35 years. To my surprise, he could not resolve the problem. He thought that it could be the "staider". What's your suggestion? The carb has been re-built and thencomplete fuel system has been cleaned several times. New battery, solenoid and new Honda starter as well as a new NKG spark plug.

I know this is an old, but good, video. I hope that you are still answering questions. We slowly pulled a finishing mower behind my Kawasaki Prairie 360 for about 2 hours today. It ran great but I was concerned about it overheating from operating it so slowly for so long in 90+ degree weather. When we shut it off, the battery was dead. I jumped it off and it ran fine as long as the jumper was on it, but would die or cough and sputter badly when I unplugged the jumper cables. I charged the battery but it discharged to 10v as soon as I hit the starter, so I’ll be replacing the battery. I checked voltage at the battery when running and connected to the jumper and it was 12.9 volts, the same as the voltage of the jumper. Voltage did not increase with revs. Does it sound like I could also be having problems with the stator or rectifier?

I'm testing the components of the charging system on my '95 Honda CB500 because the battery has gone flat. The R/R is a thyristor type and the diode measurements fall within the specs in the Hayes manual [500-10k/700-15k] and are relatively consistent. However, all are in the lower range [533/730] and nowhere near 10k/15k. Is this normal? Is the R/R in decent health? Thank you

where is the voltage regulator on a 2005 polaris sportsman 400. mine is over charging. have checked the volts when battery light comes on and it's putting out up to 17 volts only at high rpm and it never gets up to 13 volts at idle. Would that be the regulator going out?
@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
I would check the voltage coming directly out of the stator, if that looks normal, then you will need to test the CDI box. The regulator should be integrated into that unit for this model Polaris. (from what I can see) Usually Polaris puts the regulator up by the radiator, near the top. If you can't find it there, it's part of the CDI. Those have been known to go out occasionally. I hope this helps!

Hey there! Great video. I have a 01 400ex and the battery has a slow drain. If i charge it up to 13.1 volts and disconnect the battery cables it will hold. I read that the rectifier will sometimes get a short in them causing the battery to loose about .3 volts a day. So as a test i made sure the battery was charged to 13.1 and disconnected the rectifier. It stays fully charged at 13.1 when its sitting with the rectifier disconnected. So is it safe to say i have a bad rectifier? Thank you!

Have you tested the regulator? It's possible the regulator is bad and causing damage to the stator.
@iamapineapple5724 6 жыл бұрын
I believe we did check the regulator but i dont remember the method we used. What i do know for a 100% fact, when the new stator was installed, a new battery was installed too and was running under its own power in the driveway at 14.5V. We decided it would be fine for a day ride and that day the stator fried again. Its a mud built bike and i do ride it rather hard for a 650 engine, i first noticed the issues happening again after i got pretty stuck and was hard on the throttle (4krpm and higher) in that hole for 4 or 5 minutes. Would that be a possible reason for the stator to go bad? I mean, the stator was BAD. The actual coating over the coils melted off and is now caked on the inside of the rotor. We haven't gone much past that yet, its a nightmare right now. The stator that was installed was an RMStator but i highly doubt the issue is within the part.
@PartzillaParts 6 жыл бұрын
Typically, running a motor under strain or higher RPMs shouldn't fry your stator. For it to go out that fast, it's usually one of 3 things: Damaged regulator, damaged/shorted wiring or just a bad stator. It's not very common to get a new stator that is bad, but it does happen.

Two weeks into your project -- how's it going, Roger? Sorry we couldn't help you out with some US shipping on Fourtraxx parts.

Glad ya asked! Lucked out at least in parts cost, considering just a battery, oil, filter and a plug had us purring. Grinning I'll add, John you really have enough to tinker with, myself I'm capable but having these videos are well, like my old shop teacher from High school days. Your parts availability and prices on your side of the crick have us Canucks drolling most often but there was a breakthrough here from a guy that started fortnine.ca outta Quebec... mention it if ya will to someone from my area if you like. This will never be as good for price and selection or in other words no threat to your Countries deals! Regardless that oil filter removal /install on the quad you showed was what worked for me... No catastrophic fail thanks. You ever rip into street bikes of any types? You ever a pit mechanic? Talk later!

how do I test to see if the stator is going to the rectifier I know I could test it by unplugging the rectifier in testing it that way but how do I test the other way while it's plugged in
@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
The best way is to unplug it and run the tests.

Hi. My YFZ 450 blows brand new bulbs soon after I start it. Could it be anything else apart from the rectifier, and how likely is it that it is the rectifier? Thanks
@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
It could be the rectifier, have you tested it? It could be a shorted wire. Are the fuses popping?

Great Video-! My problem is the same as you describe; my honda rancher ES400 2010 battery runs down slowly over two weeks, then wont start the engine. This is a new battery. This is ridiculous. I just had it on the charger for 3 hrs. Battery reads 13.01 and when I start the engine the battery reads 12.96. The rectifier does not look like the one in your video. Mine has two plugs. I need to determine if its the stator or the rectifier/regulator as your video show. Which wires are from the stator? And which from the diodes? Thanks //Dave

Hello John , thanks for all the info on your videos, I need advise please, working on my 2005 Honda Varadero 1000. cheching the charging system i did dynamic check on the stator and at Iddle i have 22 volts AC and at 5000 rpm I have about 70 volts AC , if I keep going to 6000 RPM i got 100 volts AC , is this normal? I also did static test andI got 1.7 homs on all 3 phases, this readding is normal? Regards and again thanks in advance.

Hello partzilla, from Argentina, I have a suzuki ltr 450, and my question is the following, why does the regulator break / burn? thanks and regards (sorry for my english)
@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
Electrical components go through heat cycles, after awhile, the connections will eventually fail. The regulator has a lot of juice going through it, so they get pretty hot.
@luisurra5801 7 жыл бұрын
thanks, but due to poor battery status, can the regulator fail ?, in less than three months I have changed the regulator twice.
@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
I would test the stator and see what it's putting out. It may be overloading the regulator.

@cassandraseward2785 7 жыл бұрын
my sons Polaris 50 stopped working while he was riding checked and it had a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse then the regulator started smoking and caught fire. Orderd a new regulator, replaced the fuse, and it blew the fuse again. troubleshooting I have found that as soon as you plug into the regulator it immediatly blows the fuse. From what I have read online you should still be able to start the bike without the regulator hooked up. His will not, even with a jump. The spark plug only shows spark when you let off the starter switch. I dont know where to go from here. Please help this is my son favorite thing to do and he is very sad he cant quad right now.

Sounds like a short somewhere. Check the harness to ground with the stator and regulator disconnected. Check all the wires for a fray or ground out.

Hi John ! I got a 1991 Bayou 300... My batteries all test good but everytime I hit on the lights my quad goes dead in matters of minutes... Could this be the rectifier ? My yellow wires from the stator get really hot as well as my rectifier... I bought a cheap rectifier from Caltric and it did not solve the issue... What is next for me to check ? Thankx John !
@PartzillaParts 6 жыл бұрын
Have you load tested the battery? Sometimes the battery will read good on a charger or multimeter but the cells are fried and can't withstand the load. You can get it load tested for free at a dealer, if you don't have a load tester. That's step one in the system of elimination.

@PartzillaParts 7 жыл бұрын
That could be anything. Does it turn over and just not start? Does it just click but not turn the starter when you hit the starter switch? If you can give more details about what it's doing, we might be able to narrow it down a little.
