T509 Rectifier

Hello,

Last weekend I planned a nice ride with some friends but I only got 9 miles away from home. Suddenly my dashboard was gone, no spark whatsoever.

When I came home I removed the seat I saw that the battery was seriously damaged. Cracked on both sides and leaking. Luckily no damaged cables or anything. i replaced the battery with a newer gelversion and wanted to measure if evertything is ok (i'm an electrical noob).

The voltage of the battery was 14 V (it's brandnew and fully charged). When starting it dropped to 12 and when iddling it's ok again but when revving it goes up to 15-16V!
So I think the rectifier is the problem? I know what these should look like but I can't find it on my bike . Where should it be located?
Should I check anything further after renewal

 

Thanks for your replies. I hope someone has a pic if the location because I couldn't find it. perhaps there is an aftermarket rectifier installed at a different location. Sounds so stupig. knowing what to look for but can't find it.

I will remove the fueltank to see if it's muffeled under there

 

It's a '97 model.

Do you have any idea where I can find a new one or is OEM the only way to go? If I look online there are only conventional ones offered like the picture above. Is there also a how-to for this job that you know about?

 

Thank you all for your help. Now I understand why I couldn't find the rectifier

I wil look for one on ebay etc and replace it. The Nick Vire vids are indeed helpful. As soon as I find a part I will update.
Thanks!

 

And so the saga continous...

With your help and youtube I replaced the alternator (part 1 in the drawing) with a tested secondhand one. Also replaced the colandt ofcourse. Which had a better colour that in Nicks vids But at the end it didn't work. I still get 15-16V at the battery. i'm a bit out of ideas actually

Did I swap the wrong part of could I have checked something else?

 

I will check this evening for the voltage when disconnected.

What I measured so far (my measuring device only does whole volts):
14V at the battery (new gel-type battery fully charged with Optimate)
13V when starting
15-16 volts iddling and slightly revving (approx 2000 rpm)

 

You were all right. It was the meter that was faulty. A more accurate meter showed a 14-14,5V max. On top of that no leakages in the cooling system (knock on wood) so the Triple is up and running again

Thank you all for your help!

 

Maybe so. It has cost me 50,- and some coolant so not to much financial damage. Im just happy that it runs again
