I did the light and charging Mods to both my TLR last year, at the end of last season my 02 was not performing as well as my 98, it would charge at 14.4 V, after about a half hour it would drop off and charge at a low rate of 12.4 V.

The question I have is? Does anyone out there know how to identify the info printed on the new rectifier I score from a friend.

Will this work on the TLR?

Is the 8.9 the voltage output?

Is the voltage going to the rectifier on the 3 wire need to go in a specific order?

I don't have bike together so can't test it, so need as much info so I can put it back together, hopefully I can get it done before the riding season here.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Pat Man, Yes it will work on a TLR. I don't know all the specs, but I have read that the FH001 is the 35 amp version. Whereas, the FH012 is the 50 amp version.

They will both regulate the voltage around 14.5 volts. The "8.9" is NOT the voltage output value.

The three inputs to the rectifier are not ordered. Any of the stator wires can go to any of the three inputs.

Thanks Six5 for the response and info. One other question.

Whar is the amp the OEM rectifier from the TLR put out?

Thanks Again much appreciate.

I don't know what the OEM regulator is actually rated at, but my guess is 35 amps.

Keep in mind that if your electrical system is pulling anything more than 30 amps from the battery/regulator combination, the Main fuse will blow.

On the other hand, if you have multiple fused circuits connected in parallel directly to the battery (effectively bypassing any single main fuse), then it is possible to draw more than 30 amps. However, at some point the 'weak link' in the circuit carrying most of the current will over heat and fail. Of course, that all depends on how the mods wired and how substantial the components are. Even if nothing burns, the stator will reach its limit in the 27 to 32 amp region. By then, if not before, the battery will be in a 'discharge' mode, because the overhead voltage will be gone. I'm sure you won't be running it that hard. I'm only trying to help you appreciate that the entire system has limits - not just the R/R.

I wouldn't expect you would have any problems with the FH001.
