cmattina Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Oh, i know this has been asked a zillion times, well, maybe not the exact question... I am in a situation where I will be riding a 1999 VFR for a few weeks and want a spare rectifier. I really cannot justify a factory one for a 3 week trip (considering it costs 10% of what i paid for the bike), and i cannot get one that needs to be "heavily" modified (drilled, etc.) because i dont plan on packing a grinder and drill with me.... I found a Chinese rectifier for a CBR 600Fi that shares the same wiring and dimensions (though different plug). It seems like a good quick fix if needed. If this was my own bike i was planning on riding long term, i would obviously go for a good one. Anyways, just curious was the danger of using the CBR600 (2001+) rectifier would be?

Member Contributer VFROZ Posted April 17, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2018 Danger of using a 600rr rectifier, none. Danger of using a cheap Chinese copy, tried that and it lasted 4 hours and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmattina Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks for the reply. It is indeed a chinese copy... so now i may start looking for a used yamaha one, i guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFROZ Posted April 17, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2018 The sad thing was there was nothing wrong with the original one, I just replaced it because it had 60000kms on it. Any R1 or FJR1300 from 2010 onwards will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmattina Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I hear ya. For me, bit of a different case. Just doing a couple week tour on a bike i bought sight unseen. Figure it's small enough to bring with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
