2010 Daytona 675 Rectifier Wires Smoking

Are there any part numbers on it at all so you can see if it’s an original?
And, definitely not normal sir.

Yes not good. You must have had a short in the wiring or the rectifier is fried and not regulation. Welcome to the family. Hope you get sorted soon.

I think reg/rec problems are not uncommon on the daytona 675's. Used to see a lot of topics on it when I frequented the 675cc forum. There's probably better help to be found over there since its a bike specific forum and the members should be well aware of the problems and fixes.

 

Do you have a Lithium battery installed by any chance? Sometimes these can suck too much out of the alternator / rectifier.

 

On looking at the photos you posted it appears to be a cheap Chinese copy, and has had the wiring modified to suit it, it also appears the unit has been re located in an effort to combat overheating, instead of purchasing the correct part the previous owner has done it on the cheap and sold it on. Sprint Manufacturing retail a MOSFET regulator/rectifier supplied with new high power connectors and instructions, I have fitted these MOSFET units to a fair few machines and never had an issue. Thankfully it is easily remedied, the last unit I bought was around £140 I recall.
