How do you test a diode rectifier?

How do you test a diode rectifier?

Start by touching the negative meter lead, which is usually the black one, to the diode’s cathode, and the positive lead (red) to the anode. Note the meter reading, which should be between 0.5 and 0.8 volts. If it’s close to 0, the diode is bad.

How to check the continuity to ground on a stator?

CHECKING THE STATOR’S CONTINUITY TO GROUND: (most common and easiest test) • With the stator harness connector still unplugged and your multi-meter still in the resistance (Ω) setting, place your red ( +) lead to each of the yellow wires while grounding the black (-) lead to a solid ground.

What should I do if I get a reading on my stator?

Set your multimeter to Ohms. Put the negative lead on the engine’s ground and the positive lead on each wires of the stator’s connector one by one. You shouldn’t get a reading at all. If you get a reading, even very small, on any wire, the stator is defective and must be changed. Put your multimeter to AC Volts and start you vehicle.

How can I tell if my stator connector is defective?

Ohms Test. You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.

How many wires does a Honda regulator rectifier use?

Being a Later Three-Phase, Electromagnet Alternator with Combined rectifier and regulator; this R/R has a 6 wire connector and a separate earth to frame by physical contact. It is thus a 7 wire R/R – not a 6 wire.

Where are the rectifier wires on a Suzuki gsxr600?

There are three yellow wires that come from your stator. They come out of the left side crankshaft cover and route into your sprocket cover and out along the cast bottom portion of your frame on their way to your rectifier. They connect directly to the rectifier. You can disconnect them from the rectifier and test them with a multimeter.

What’s the Max resistance on a Suzuki gsxr600?

Static Test Set multimeter to ohms and test between all the leads in pairs. The reading 0.1 to 1.0 max resistance. No Load Test Dynamic Test Set your multimeter to AC Volts and start the bike. It should be cold. Have a friend hold the RPM’s at 5,000. Test between the leads. You should see more than 70V.

Where does the regulator go on a Suzuki gsxr600?

They come out of the left side crankshaft cover and route into your sprocket cover and out along the cast bottom portion of your frame on their way to your rectifier. They connect directly to the rectifier. You can disconnect them from the rectifier and test them with a multimeter. Your first test will be static. The engine is not running.

Are there any Suzuki stators that have been burned out?

Your era of Suzuki is unfortunately notorious for burned out rectifiers and stators. Whomever they were sourcing them through had a huge quality control issue. The TLR and TLS of that era had the same issue as did many other models.
