??? Has anyone done this??? It seems to make so much sense, I'm wondering what the down side is, as I cannot seem to find one....

Somebody help me out here!

You can install a later model series regulator to replace the OEM shunt regulator that will make more efficient use of the wattage that the OEM alternator puts out. It takes a small amount of modification to do it.

Here is a link to a thread on another forum that discusses it. New Regulator/Rectifier

I feel this is a logical mod and need opinions from the experts I trust: youse guys....

be well-
 
You are chasing a Mofset regulator which only makes a circuit when you need power. The original regulator takes the full output of the charging system (20-25 amps) and sinks the unused amount to ground generating heat which is disparate s through the heat sink. This system works ok and has been used widely for many years by many different manufacturers. The main difference is the Mofset reg generates heat when it is suppling lots of current where the standard reg generates heat when it is sinking or wasting current. All the stator connections are running max current all the time with the original reg where with the Mofset that only happens when required. As we reduce the electrical load ( LEDs HIDs etc) then more of the charge output is sent to ground through the standard reg.
 
The conversion also gives full voltage at idle speeds.. not at 3000 rpm or at least that is what those who did the conversion have reported... the oem is waste loss system what is not needed is wasted... where the replacement is a demand system.. when current is needed it is allowed to flow when it not required it stops the current flow...iirc...
 
The charge out put is the same with both regulators because you are limited by the stator-rotor relationship so 3000 rpm is more than likely around maximum current/amperage but you should get better charging of the battery as the MOSFET reg is more precise on it's charging parameters
 
KYwinger you need an FH series regulator if you want a Mofset regulator, the cbr600 is a FH016 which is the best choice. The eBay listing is not for a Mofset reg IMHO.

Great! Someone we know and trust to do this mod

Dan......you have SUCH high hopes..........ROFL....

Ansimp: thanks for the heads up on that :clapping: BTW; the Shindergen # I got is FH008EB
 
The second is a MOSFET R/R, specifically the Shindengen FH008EB from a '05 - present CBR600/1000RR. This unit runs cooler than even the lukewarm GSX-R R/R, bolts right up to the stock mount, and can deliver more consistent voltage under load than the GSX-R unit.

Ansimp - I'm thinkin' THIS is the kind I need................
 
John, I love eBay normally but I wouldn't buy a regulator unless you are sure that it is an FH Mofset series regulator. These regulators appear too cheap to be Mofset so rather than be disappointed I prefer to buy a second hand regulator that I know is.

Good point! I know from Mother Honda they run around $119; I'll keep the ol' peepers on the lookout for a 'take off'
