BEC regulator-rectifier
DH2 - 27/10/10 at 11:58 AM
Found this whilst tidying up my garage at the weekend...
Brand new, supplied by AB Performance, regulator-rectifier, which is for a CBR1000, but this is what Andy recommends for use on any BEC.
Complete with replacement heavy duty connectors (so it can be used on any bike engine), all brand new and unused.
Cost over £100 a year ago, yours for £70 delivered.

So what exactly does it go? Asking as I am using a CBR 1000F

What does it do, or where does it go? I'll answer both anyway.
The windings on the end of the crank of a bike engine produces 3-phase AC power. The reg-rec converts this to single phase DC for feeding to your
battery. It also prevents over-charging the battery by dissipating any excess power as heat.
Since it turns electricity into heat, it gets warm, so it is important to mount it somewhere it will get a bit of airflow over it (easy on a
motorbike), and also a good idea to mount it to something metal to help sink the heat out. The reg-rec will break down if it overheats, and then so
will you!
I should say the one I have is from a CBR1000RR, a modern Fireblade, but it should work on any bike engine.
If you wanted to check, call up Andy at AB Performance, he's very helpful

what kind is it?
The FH012 and FH010 are awesome, very little heat generated.

It is an FH008EB, which is from the same latest range, which apparently use MOSFETs so run cooler.
