Hi all,

This may seem a daft question, but for some reason I touched my rectifier with the bike not long been running, and it seemed extremely hot to touch by hand. however, having never actually done this before that I can remember I don't know if this is normal?

If anyone knows, or if anyone touch the rectifier by hand after the bike's been running a few minutes or so, and tell me if it feels rather 'hot' much appreciated.

Cheers,

Shaun.

yeah gets hot! needs a heat sink

They do get hot.

always keep a eye on the buggers had many go on every honda ive owned any heat bubbles and id strongly suggest replacing it a faulty reg can lead to problems

It's a new 'un!! Cheers for answers though, I expected it to get warm but not like really hot to touch. Probably just normal then......
