I have a triumph daytona 955i . and i just changed the stator on it . and now when i go to hook up the battery the battery fuse blows out ..... somtimes i have even had both 30 fuses blow 1 goes to battery and other i think is the rectifier ..... the rectifier was supposed to be new . the battery is new the stator is new .... the stator wire seems not to be melted .. it looks solid ... thank you for your time and help ..

Google " service manuals triumph "
or go to www.repairmanuals.com
or try your local library. Often guys will donate manuals to the library.

You might find a free pdf service manual on this site, they have a ton of them.

My 96 GSXR was doing this too. I found I had oil leaking into the stator case. This had "washed" the insulation off the windings (I think) causing it to short out. It shorts worst when it is hot. Now when I disconnect the generator while running it runs great. Reconnect, and a huge blue spark arcs across the plug. This causes a huge current flow at this plug (back and forth). I haven't gotten all my parts yet to try out my diag. Check under your stator cover, or just continuity test it in the bike (OHMs meter).

let is sit for a day and dry out. you probably got moisture into the spark plugs, or the distributor, or the wires. if you have a battery charger, charge the battery while you are waiting.

A bridge rectifier is in your circuit to make "rectified DC" from the "AC" your alternator produces. Of course you need DC to charge the battery.

Simple method - no ohm meter required.

Get a flashlight battery, a flash light light and two paper clips. Fasten one around the light and tape it to the + end of the battery with the tip of the light on the tip of the battery. You will have to manipulate #2 paper clip onto the bottom of the battery as you insert it here and there. Hold the thought.

A bridge rectifier is composed of two or four or maybe more diodes. A Diode allows power to travel in one direction but not the other. When this happens, the "top" part of the AC cycle passes through the diode but the "bottom" part does not. (remember what AC looks like on an oscelescope? - I cant remember how to spell it)

What does that mean to you? ... with the battery out of the circuit and the rectifier unplugged, start sticking the paper clip into first one then another slot. If you get light at all terminals, (or any pair) your diodes are shorted. Same story if you get NO light at all terminals (or any pair).

If your rectifier is good ... you should get light in one direction (some terminals) then turn the polarity around on the same terminals and you chould get no light.

If you have a ohm meter, you should read open in one direction and short in the other direction.

If this is getting too deep for you ... let me know I will try again.

If your rectifier is bad, remove it and take it with you to the Honda Shop parts place to make sure you get a exact replacement ... while there, ask the counterman if he or she can check it for you.

I hope this helps you out.

If you are pleased, remember we work here for "bragging rights" only. Please leave positive comments.

Thanks

Testimonial: "Thanks for the tip, My stator is toast, I found a place in S.Cal that will rebuild my or I can find one on e-bay, again Thanks for the great tip!"
