...one of the copper wires on the stator melts off? does the regulator/rectifier get knackered? ive had problems with my bulbs frying with a flick of the throttle, so i changed the reg/rect just to find out that the stator had melted conections on the copper winding where its soldered. so is my reg/rectifier a goner or do i just need to resolder the stator?

by the way its a 2004 FE 650 :)

ive been lurking around this forum silently a couple of years now and i think this is my first post! hehe;-p
 
resolder the stator, its a common problem on the '04.
 
so the reg/rectifier should be fine then? that would realy make my day!

could the reason for it to desolder be too much power draw like if the headlight bulb is rated higher than 30w?

anyone tried led bulbs or is that a no-no on A/C power? i tried to resolder the stator yesterday and it worked, but just for a short while. so it has prob. desoldered again

could the led bulbs be positive to use? because of the lower power consumption?

thanks a lot!
 
Anyone who has an opinion for me before i try to resolder the stator again? Do i need to get a hold of an another reg/rectifier for it to work?

Thanks

if you are an experienced solderer, it should stay. if not, learn a bit about it. its like any other skill, it should be done right and all prep work be accomplished before you begin. i did mine one time, never had another problem. it builds up heat because the solder joint has too much resistance for one reason or another.
are you running the headlight on ac or dc? mine had a 55w halogen bulb, and needed to be run on ac (wouldn't charge the battery running on dc).
 
im not an educated solderer, but ive done my fare share of soldering. bought my first soldering iron when i was 14 or 15 years old. i do a bit of prep work before i start soldering yes, like desoldering completely, using some soldering paste that degreases the surface when in contact with heat and scuff the surface some.

ive soldered it again and it seems fine now! im so happy that i didnt have to replace the reg/rectifier.

so bottom line the reg/rectifier does not get destroyed when the stator desolders.


do you have any tips on how to cope with the resistance in the soldering joint ned? in case it does not hold? how many volts are you reading on the headlamp? im running A/C.
 
the resistance in the solder joint depends on the condition of the wire after it burnt off, and the crud left on the post. stripping back the wire to good conductor, cleaning the post with sandpaper, proper tinning of both using a good rosin core solder, with a good medium wattage iron, reattached using the right amount of heat and it'll be as good if not better than factory.
 
Wots this about AC or DC headlights? My 04 650 runs a 35/35w lamp. does that mean its AC or DC. How do i change my bike from DC to AC?

basically, if your headlight works when the engine is not running, its dc. if the engine has to run, its ac.
fwiw, on my '04 450 with a 55w lamp, running dc discharged the battery over about an hour. ran fine on ac.
