DIY rectifier

[jukkamar]

This won't happen in TX750. My XS650 has a similar rectifier as TX750. It is located in XS650B under battery box. Not very clever place if you think what can usually happen with acids.

Battery has had acid overflow. Rectifier was in very poor condition. It didn't look very reliable.

I would have been able to buy a 50 € rectifier.

But I found from eBay very robust 80A 1200V standard rectifier. Size is quite bigger than Yamaha own. But space is not problem. Price was 12 USD incl P&P. About 10 €.

I added also field diodes to get a warning light application.

A bit soldering...

... and screws...

... and cables of course.

I just found where my short is on my bike. It is the red wire in the rectifier. This is exactly what I need to do. Can you tell me wire layout on your setup?

I brought a rectifier, do the white leads have any particular order?

Just to help out a bit on the photos, once the three diodes once soldered to the bridge, are all soldered together(diode wires are bent) with the green wire can complete the current to the regulator.
The black and red wires are soldered as indicated on the bridge diagram.

Maybe stating the obvious, an additional photo in the process along with a little more description of the diode used would of assisted some of us mere mortals.

Cheers.
