Hey Terry Stevens,you responded to my question,(how hot should the voltage regulator of my 92 FZR 600 get) and it is what it is the three white wires coming out of the alternator were hard & burnt looking .So I spliced in some fresh wires and thought I was good to go.When I started the bike ,within a miniute the regulator was to hot to handle. What do you think?
My opinion , this should never get hot as you say it should always stay cool to the touch never hot if it is hot you may have a short somewhere ck the wires get a schemetic and find out where the wires are coming from and which one may be grounded out
SOURCE: the wires going to the voltage regulator keep burning up.
Common problem with poor quality parts, the regulator is the problem, the generator is working other wise you would not have fried the wiring, you answered your own question. someone telling porkies to get more money from unsuspecting client?
The regulator controls the voltage not the generator, the generator only supplys the voltage it cannot overcharge unless the regulator is not working properly, simple!
SOURCE: cbr 600 getting hot!
What you are describing sounds exactly like a loose connection. If you haven''t done this already, disconnect the two connectors for the R/R and check the female spade lugs to see if they are loose. You can buy a male spade lug to push into the female to check for tightness. If it''s loose then use a set of needle nose pliers to crimp the female spade lugs a little. Just because they plug in to each other does not mean that you are getting a tight connection. Also, how do you know they were not loose?

Personally, I would go back to the stock jets, stock air cleaner and stock exhaust then get the carbs balanced and synchronized. Aftermarket stuff is usually flashy and sounds like a good thing.. Sometimes it is but sometimes it ain't. Sometimes one add-on interferes with another. Put some faith in the guys who designed the engine in the first place. Go back to stock equipment and settings and see if the problem disappears.
Keep the cool aftermarket product stickers on the bike. No one will ever know.
Please rate my solution a " FixYa " if all goes well. Thanks!
SOURCE: wire connector between stator & voltage reg/rectifier burnt
your voltage/reg. can be tested in a couple different ways check ground res. check res. then revs. bias on diodes you have ac in dc out it sounds like you may have a diode gone bad allowing ac curent to flow causing the wires to get hot
SOURCE: my battery is not charging when bike is running (gsxr 600 k6 )
When you put a voltmeter across the battery terminals, you should get >13.5V (typically) with the engine running.
If less than this then your charging system is faulty and your battery will not charge.
See this personally authored thread for a diagnostic guide on how to determine whether you have a problem with your stator or Rectifier/Regulator - inlcuding some cold resistance checks you can do on the R/R to determine if it is shorted.

It was written initially for Triumphs, but applies to ANY 3-phase motorcycle charging system.
