What can cause a regulator rectifier to go bad?
Things like poor grounding, a loose or weak battery, and a worn battery connection can all lead to regulator rectifier failure.
What are the Revs of a VFR stator?
What’s the numbers? Should be in 12.8 to 13.3v min idle and generally 13.7 to 14.4 ish at revs. (if in the 12s at idle, check at about 1900rpms instead. Its not unusual for the system to be in discharge at idle.
How to fix a common regulator / stator failure?
Now disconnect the rectifier/regulator from the alternator, normally 3 yellow wires on a Honda, then set the meter to OHM’s (resistance) then measure the resistance between each of the wires on the alternator side plug. It should be less than 1 ohm & then measure each wire to earth, as in the frame of the bike or engine bolt, it should not read.
What’s the best way to fix a motor regulator?
Steps. 1.smear some motor oil on the cover and lay over the paper and lift creating nice outline where to cut. 2.Cut with blade and use paper punch for holes. 3.Smear bicycle or any grease lightly on paper both sides before installing. 4.Tight everything up but not super tight.Check torque settings.

Why are so many regulator and stator failures?
1st.Why such common failures.I believe problem is caused by stators thin low grade wires and the connection plug to regulator.Plug is poorly designed and any moisture,wire heating causes the plug to melt thus shorting the stator.It does not help that old style regulators produce lot of heat which contribute to melting.
