Typically a rectifier is fed AC power generated from the stator coils of the generator (alternator) and converts it to DC power whilst, at the same time, limiting the voltage to a maximum of about 14.5 volts.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSigns that your regulator needs replacing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDepending on the location of the regulator rectifier, the part can easily overheat. Other causes for a dead regulator rectifier center on the battery. Ground connections are important for good voltage, and if there is a faulty voltage, the regulator rectifier can run hot. Bad grounding, corroded battery connection and poor or loose battery connections will cause faulty voltage too.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThere are generally two ways for the regulator rectifier to fail. The first deals with diode burnout, resulting in battery drain. It is easy to assume that the issue is a bad battery because of symptoms such as dimming headlights and poor starts. Checking the voltage with a voltmeter versus relying on symptoms alone will prove highly beneficial. If the voltage drops below 13 volts, the motorcycle will begin to drain the battery and eventually the engine will stop. Check for bad connections and corrosion; these can also cause voltage issues. The other failure type is shunt regulator burnout, where the regulator rectifier fails to control the voltage, resulting in battery overcharge. Again, a voltmeter will be useful for diagnosis. Though generally, readings above 17 volts mean the regulator rectifier is not converting the excess power correctly and all of that excess voltage may cause the headlights to become extremely bright and then blow.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMTX's range of OE replacement rectifiers are designed to directly replace faulty or broken OE componentry, with all the same connectors as your OE components, they are simply 'plug-and-play' replacements.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDirect Replacement\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePlug and Play with OE connectors included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Part Fits:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHonda\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eModel\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e                   Year\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 ABS       \u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e   2005 2006 2007 2008 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 F\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e           2003 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (5)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e           2005 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (5)            (TO MAY 07)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (7)            (FROM JUN 07)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (7)            (TO APR 08)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (8)            (FROM MAY 08)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (8)            (TO FEB 09)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCB 1300 S (9)            (FROM MAR 09)\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eShelf 1\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MTX Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50716777775446,"sku":"REGHN021","price":56.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/0928\/2390\/files\/57_83685e73-5b35-44f0-8c90-a715ba0f7a4a.jpg?v=1751316650","url":"https:\/\/www.thinkbikegear.co.uk\/products\/mtx-replacement-regulator-rectifier-honda-cb1300f-cb1300s-03-09-31600-mej-j01","provider":"Think Bike Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
