How to fix R6 rectifier/charging system problem - kirny - 10-04-2012
Ok guys I know a lot of people have been asking or have this problem so I'm gonna do this write up and put up some pics
Here is what has gone on with my bike. It runs code 46 which mean the charging system is getting too much or not enough voltage. All the wires to my rectifier are burnt up along with all the wires from my stator. When I would start my bike it would test at 17.5 volts!!!! Haha not good and after a little bit of riding it would stay at a constant 13.5. One other problem that goes along with all this stuff is if u kill the bike it won't start if u hit the start button it just clicks and you have to roll start the bike. For awhile my simple fix was just replacing the burnt wires but I have now gotten tired of doing that and changing out the whole charging system.
So here is what I will be working with brand new wiring harness, rectifier, and stator. You might wonder why I changed the whole harnes? The reason why is because since the ground and power kept burning up it burnt up other parts of the harness so to hopefully alleviate this problem in the future I got a new harness.
Ok here is how I will hardwired my charging system OUTSIDE of the new wiring harness. Basically I am making a separate harness for the charging system that way if it burns up again it won't ruin my minty harness.
This is what the stator plug and the rectifier look like, I will not be using any of it this is just a reference. I will use 10-12 gauge wire and take the rectifier ground to the ground on the motor. The rectifier power cable is going to go directly to the battery with a FUSE, DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A FUSE. The wires from the stator will also be 10-12 gauge wire going tithe rectifier. For all of these plugs u can either use individual plugs or solder. If you use individual plugs I suggest using electrical grease. I will have the rest of the pictures up today someone please sticky this!!!!

Threw a quick schematic together in photoshop
If anybody has a picture of the ground connection on the back of the motor, post up!http://zeus-armor.com/home/hardwirin...-r6-rectifier/

Thx guys! This is on my to do list.

Finally! I was waiting on someone to post a retard proof how-to!!!

Here is what the power cable for my rectifier looks like it will connect straight to the battery
Here is what my battery looks like before I put it in obviously I had to add the power cable and the ground when I put it in but I took this picture so people could see it better I have three wires connected to power
1) rectifier 2) the power for one of my fans 3) the power for my quick charge plug 4) once on the bike it will get the power cable
The ground has the ground to my quick charge plug and will get te ground for the wiring harness added once on the bike
Here is the ground on my motor you can see three wires
1) ground from the battery 2) the ground from the rectifier 3) ground for my second fan

seems relays helps out a lot on stuff
dude can be a straight dickface sometimes but still a good dude

nice write up

The ground Kirny used is the best possible place to ground things and like Duane mentioned relays help to boost weak power leads as there is a coil inside them
I think the ground on R6's either on the battery, the engine or the rectifiers is the biggest cause of all the electrical gremlins

This definitely needs to be a sticky
