Thought I'd give this post a bump... (Welcome back from Bourke everyone - sounds like it was a top weekend.)

Are there any spare regulator rectifiers out there looking for a new home?

Cheers, Jarrad

Thanks Steptoe. It's not too urgent from my end - luckily I have a 'loaner' on the bike at the moment that's doing the job until I get a replacement. I'll check in once everyone's back from Bourke. The ones online are around the $100-$150 mark with postage.

Now that we, 've all had a chuckle,,  seriously JEFF  is our electrical go to guy,,  I do , t know if there, s a differences or not,, but I did have to buy a new one a while ago,, because a "MECHANIC" said he fried mine and it wasn't, t his or the shops fault,,

Paid about  180 from memory, brand new, should be a couple in boxes now  though with the amount of members,,  can you wait till the right guys reads this or do you need it now?

Did you mean something like this Jeff?

sorry mate ,, I,ve only got a FLUX  capacitor for a  roundy,,,,,,,, I think

How embarrassing, writing 'flex' instead of 'flux!' Nice pickup Steptoe. If only I could go back in time and change what I wrote...but then I wouldn't have made the typo...and you wouldn't have picked it up for me to go back in time in the first place..."Whoa - heavy!"

Jeff - love your work mate. Made me chuckle. Looks like you've seen the movie once or twice too!

Silly question: Are the regulators different for each model then?  The ones I've seen on eBay are described as suitable for all models.

Did someone mention....... .......TaaaAAA daAAAAA.....flux Capacitor??
This subject has crossed paths on here before........as follows

Here s a little known fact.........so i want you to keep it......" on the down low"......" mums the word"........" a nod s as good as a wink to a blind horse "......and all that stuff  .
As we know....the Japanese were well ahead of their time when they invented the xs1100...........and what i m about to tell you .........you won t find on any wiring diagrams or schematics.( Looks...side to side.......and whispers...)" Its all to do with that damn flasher canister!!"
(Que spooky music.........Duh Daaaaa!!!)
( Here goes ..).........When you disassemble  and look inside the base of it , the sneaky electrickery nerds at Yamaha installed a miniaturized version of the ......( Looks...side to side again.......and whispers...)......." Delorean Flux Capacitor".
What alerted me to it was............one night , a long time ago , i was out riding on a dark stormy night ............ as i  accelerated and hit  88mph(140.8Kkmph)......at that precise moment.....there was a lightning strike.........and the whole arse end of my bike lit up and glowed like something out of a Steven Speilberg movie......something came over me ...........i turned  to my pillion passenger and said ......"   Don't worry. As long as i hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph(140.8kmph) the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine".
Now..is it just me?....or has anyone else had a similar experience?
It is 1985 isn t it?

(Sorry...I grew up on Michael J Fox movies and couldn't help the Back to the Future reference...it seemed fitting!)

I'm on the hunt for a regulator rectifier after mine gave out. Mal kindly loaned me one and it seems to have fixed the problem, so now it's time to source a more permanent replacement.

Before I buy an after-market one online I thought it might be worth asking if anyone has a spare in working order they want to sell? If so, please send a message or give me a ring on 0413906649.

Cheers,
