What is a voltage regulator on a motorcycle?
The Voltage Regulator is an important component of the electrical charging system, and keeps your motorcycle battery from being overcharged and damaged. The most common is a single or three phase regulator for permanent magnet charging systems. This type is used on the majority of modern street motorcycles.
Where is the regulator on a Honda Goldwing?
I removed the separate rectifier and regulator completely and fitted a single rectifier/regulator unit from a Honda Bros because it had the same wiring colours two green, three yellow and two red+white. The new rectifier/regulator fits in the same place as the old rectifier, on the side of the battery box next to the battery.
Where is the rectifier on a Honda Goldwing?
The original GL1000 electrical system has a separate rectifier (located on the forward side of the battery box, part number 31700-371-000 ) and a voltage regulator ( part number 31400371003 ) located inside the left side of the false tank.
What should my multi meter reading be on my Honda Goldwing?
Now start up the bike and check across the battery terminals with a digital multi meter, you should get a reading between 14 and 15 volts. Yes! That’s it finished. It is that easy!
What are the wires on a Honda rectifier?
There are three wires green, yellow and black. Green is ground, Yellow is a tap from one of the alternator wires. Now the Black wire is the reference or “sense” wire, it is the voltage on this wire that the old regulator used to set the charging voltage over the battery.
