Edge Technolgy Toolpost indicator DIY upgrade
Hello sir,, if i connect the single phase stator side to normal electricity socket will the battery be charged ?
If you are talking about a home electrical socket don't do it as it will short out and hopefully blow a circuit breaker and you may get hurt badly.
Yes I was thinking that the same idea can be used to charge batteries at home using motorcycle regulator
interesting
I have a 2014 Kawasaki Voyager VN 1700, dropped in a LifeP04 battery, great battery, I have a USB/voltmeter outlet, it reads 17 volts when running at speed. Question: Is this due to lead acid charge profile? Or is the regulator suspected to be bad? Is there a regulator for LifeP04 batts?
Hi, over charging is a failing or failed regulator. Regulators don't have a profile they just regulate voltage and watt output.
Hi sir, supposed I connect three phase side to electricity socket will the battery be charged ?
Is there a way to tell now as they look the same to me seems china have upped there game in copying ive been offerd one locally and this one seems different as in the sealant behind the plugs is gray not black but all looks same other than that
On my website are the FH020AA Mosfet R/R test procedure which will give you the numbers that will identify a real Shindengen Mosfet compared to fakes using a multimeter.
I am from Torrance, Cal. Are you in LAWNDALE, Cal? Great tutorial. I bought my 1983 brand new Suzuki 1100 and still have it. But now my battery gets drain after I stop the bike. I had to push start my bike in first gear.I bought a new battery but that did not work after 2 days riding.So I am going to my mechanic
Charge your battery up and then unplug the regulator and see if it stops the drain. Also you can go to my website for my phone number and give me a call, I have a couple checks you can do for a draining battery if it's not the R/R.
I DESPERATELY NEED HELP QUICKLY. I have a crf50, Rick's stator, 90 watts, I have the Rick's shunt regulator? Ether way, my ignition system is seperate, the Rick's stator just adds one power wire. ( originally just the 2) wire comes out, and Ts off to 1 wire regulator and other goes to all my lights. PROBLEM IS! I have a chp inspection, found out I need a battery in my system, and is required to get charged by the system. . I have no idea what to buy and how to rewire it to have a battery. Please assist
Hi, You need to Google "How do I add a battery and charging to a CRF50 dirt bike" or just say "dirt bike" to get ideas. I really have not done that before.
@@Roadstercycle really is just a 1 wire stator for power i just bought a 4 wire rectifier to wire in a battery. I just don't know if I leave the shunt regulator thing in wiring or not. And I also don't know what to do with the 4 wires. 1 is negative. 1 is positive. And I believe 2 are ac in. But I only have the 1 wire. Can I hook both ac in to the 1 wire off stator.
@@letsgetit3310 I would leave the other R/R in and just run another stator wire into the new R/R and see if you get a charging voltage. Worth a shot. It may or may not work but if the stator puts out enough power it may work. If your headlight light bulb is 6 volts all bets are off. It may be 6 volts which means if you put in a 12 volt battery you need to replace bulbs.
@@Roadstercycle no. I wired it this week.. All led. But then I found out actual chp requirements. Which I did read lights need to be able to be on of engine is off for 15 minutes. And bike has to charge it. If I'm going to throw battery in, I'm just gonna do it right. I could use small battery pass inspection. But what if he leaves it on 15 minutes to check. I doubt that. But I want to pass 1st time. And my horn sucks so bad.. when you Rev it, horn just doesn't work after certain rpm. 1000 volt diode didn't work.. I screwed up, ground system out. So maybe horn got messed up. Doubtful. 7 dollar horn. Probably just sucks. But on battery least solve that issue.
Very cool
Just purchased my FH020AA from Roadster cycle and it amazing quality 👌 I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and I'm so happy with my purchase Thank you Roadster Cycle ❤
thanks man that makes sense. i got a sh775 box for my 82 GS off ebay, been wondering how to hook it up exactly. I guess i was over thinking it
How about registering it as a homebuilt kit car?
It's called a special construction vehicle in California and even doing that they would not let me race because of the 2024 rules. I have thought about it as I've built many special constructed motorcycles over the years.
Thanks for finding out the rules for the rest of us.. At least we know and can see what type of resistance were are likely to encounter. Thanks for sharing!
😕 bummer ...
Super neat project! What hubs are you using front? rear? I feel like you could use a few more tubes to transfer loads from the front structure to the mid structure, but maybe I cant see it all. maybe add a tube or two between the driver and the batteries? That front coilover mount isnt as strong as I would think. Anyway, looks really well finished and a super neat project! Put some nicer tires on it! Re-71R or R1R are great
Very tidy build. Hopefully we will get some video of it driving soon.
Thanks for what you do. We talked on the phone when you offered to help anyone. I got my issues sorted out and had some good miles. Then something broke, now I’m back on the grind. That’s what it’s all about I guess. Fun and games…
Jack, your builds are super cool! Nice job. Hope to see some footage from the drag strip!
You always impress me as an artist doubled engineer; deep into details but achieving completion. Congratulation.
Glad you are still building.
nice , cant wait to see how it does !
Very interesting, I know your a busy man but would you be able to do a price breakdown on this build please
Hi, I'll have to sit down and do that. Very busy the next couple days.
@@Roadstercycle I totally understand, would be greatly appreciated if you get around to
Hello Sir thank you for the explanation. I knda know some electronics. Im upgrading a 150 cc scooter with a 11 pole stator with a 6 wire rectifier from a 8 stator that got damaged when i dropped a washer by the vent hole at the cooling fan. My question is ,Does it matter the position of the yellow wires or do they need to be wired specifically to the stator / rectifier?
Hi, I'm not familiar with a 6 wire stator so I'm not sure. A 3 wire stator the wires are all AC and can be attached in any order, A 6 wire my need a specific way. You need a wiring diagram to sort that out.
@@Roadstercyclehello. Actually yes you are right. I meant 3 yellow wires coming out of the stator and one red/black to feed the cdi, one ground and the blue for trigger, hence 6 wires. I did found out the position of the 3 yellow wires coming out from the stator can go into the rectifier in any position because they are A/C. Is this right? Thanks for replying. Take care . Greetings form Chicago.
I have a 1975 Yamaha 400 that uses ac for some lights then a rectifier is used to charge the battery. I'm told that my bike is like all the others- it blows the 6v bulbs. The voltage output is 8v. Of course I'd like to regulate that. Can you help?
OK, I'm going to take a swing at this. On Amazon there is a AC to DC Buck converter which may fix your issue but you would have to go to a 12 volt bulb. It's cheap and may do it. No promises but that's what I would try.
@@Roadstercycle Thanks but 8v will not light a 12v bulb. I guess I could unwind the coils.
If your coil is putting out enough AC voltage to burn up your bulbs this may work. Put an AC voltmeter on your headlight plug and start your bike and see what it's putting out. @@lawrencecarlson2425
Thanks, the bike had 12v bulbs when purchased but would not light them up.
OK, Maybe a new stator or rotor. Hard to diagnose online. @@lawrencecarlson2425
Gday Jack, Al here from Australia. My regulator is faulty on my 77 KZ1000A. I have a new RM10-100 that was destined for a Honda but no longer needed. Will it fit my KZ if I just use the 3 yellow stator wires and the black negative and red positive? The reg also has a set of black, white and green coming out of it. Can I just terminate those? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
That's a good question. I would just give it a try as I don't believe it will hurt anything if it does not work. It may have been for an excited rotor on the Honda to control the rotor magnetism. I think the R/R will still regulate the voltage without the rotor control.
Thanks for the quick reply Jack. Will give it a go and let you know the outcome. Please keep the informative clips coming as they are great. Cheers Al @@Roadstercycle

Your build is so Clean! Amazing Work.
Thank you, building these are a lot of fun. Holley carburetor/AEM actually bought this car from me to design their EV components.
@@Roadstercycle Yeah!!! I did see that video. WOW! Amazing how things come full circle! Any chance of you doing more EV Swaps in the Future?
@@NBWDOUGHBOYHi, yes I have a ground up video in the works of a car called the Rattler coming soon. You can see pics of it on Instagram, Roadstercycle_EV
Gotta say once 0:03 more... thanks, you make my hobby fun again... Kawasaki dealer sucked the fun out of wanting to play with bikes... i am a 3 year rider just learning about bikes and stators ans regulators and test meters... bikes were never a part of my life and as a 65 yr old i want to have fun learning something new and your video brought it back to where it should be... a fun hobby... Dave Arizona 650 versy 2015
I will look at your business, thank you... Dave 65 yrs...650 verys 2015 new rider and new hobby bike mechanic
Thank you for the stator continuity test... 3 year rider, riding and fixing my 650 versy is my senior hobby... oh, first volt meter in 65yrs and learning how to use the thing... my continuity is buzzing on all 1 2 and 3 and 2/3...
Will it fit a 2023?
way to go, nice build. My 07 has been sitting for the last 2 yrs and im trying to figure out what to do with it but this is a nice option. Just need to find the shop.
Thanks you for the answer.
Hi, i am Hennie from the Nederlands. I like the video but I have a question. Is a mosfet regulator also shorting the coils to due gegulating?
Yes the FH020AA Mosfet is a shunting regulator but with up to date electronics. The SH847 is a series regulator that runs the stator cooler.
Вроде у меня всё как вы написали и рассказали, ну на выходе + - регулятора без нагрузки 2 вольта всего а на входе с генератора каждая фаза на холостых по 25 вольт регулятор стоит на снегоходе это проблема с регулятором????
That's great. I was looking at the $300+ solutions you see online, but I like your solution a lot better.
This is going to help me diagnose my issue. Engine won’t run, tried an Arashi regulator and it kept popping my main fuse. Started looking around, and the 3 wires to my stator have a little dark spot on all three near the connector. Pretty sure my stator is shot
could be cdi too
Just watched this and wondered who the horn-howler in the shop was...
What do you mean by horn howler? When do you here that?
I just found your video. I have this problem with my Honda VFR. I have the excitation wire or signal wire as they call it at Honda, and my reg/rec puts out 16v or so. So I change the reg/rec, but it does the same thing with the brand new. Then I put a shunt between signal wire and positive wire and everything settled down to 14.5v. The problem is, I can’t shut down the engine anymore. I guess it bypasses the ignition. Do you have any solutions? Thx.
The reason your bike does not shut off now is because your are back feeding the ignition switch through the excitation wire. You could put a diode in the side of the excitation wire on the ignition side so it does not back feed or put an extra switch on that wire to shut it off when you are done riding. If you did not get that replacement R/R though Honda and you bought it off Ebay or Amaazon that is the bigger problem, not a lot of quality control on those R/Rs.
I think that is the problem here. I don’t think that is the excitation wire. Honda calls it signal wire because it gets attached the R/R through the + or red wire to tell the R/R to limit the voltage at 14.5v. At least that is what is shown on the electrical system diagram. The signal wire (black) connects to the + wire (red) of the R/R. And it should all make sens but looks like the reality is different . When I follow the signal wire on the diagram, it meets the red wire of the R/R and that is the end of it….. Too bad I can’t attach the electrical system diagram. @@Roadstercycle
You don't need to send me a wiring diagram as I've seen this setup for years on many many Honda's. I would send back your latest R/R purchase and purchase a quality R/R. You are fighting a battle that does not need to be fought.
I was thinking about the R/R being bad by I took it to a motorcycle shop and they said it is good. They said they don’t guarantee for how long, but it is good. Would I be able to put a mos-fet R/R on it? I will google to see what part number and see where I will find it. Thanks for the info. Cheers.@@Roadstercycle
It would be so much easier if you just called or emailed me. jack@roadstercycle.com or go to my website and get my phone number.
I want to find a good quality regulator but it seems that all of them are 3 wire for the stator but i only got 2 what's the best way to hook it up
Both the FH020AA and SH847 will work with 2 wire stators. I've done it numerous times on different bikes over the years. You just hook up 2 wires instead of three.
Great video thxs
Thank you. awesome explanation. You fixed my ATV.
I have received the product. It comes with a 10A fuse. What wire should I put the 10A fuse?
Hi, Jack. Great info and well explained. Let's go down vintage bike memory-lane with a '73 Norton Commando Production Racer, single-phase Lucas stator, stock charging system. What's the Ohm reading I should expect to see between the two alternator leads? Also, the first Commandos had a volt meter in the headlamp shell; this one is a later one with the Lucas "assimilator" controlling a charging "idiot light". I'm assuming SH847 installation will involved removal of old Lucas stack-of-plates rectifier and the Zener grounding diode and also with each alternator lead attached to one of the three input wires (third insulated off). What's the connection for signal to the assimilator and the emergency capacitor (I'm assuming just off the hot side of the battery with no direct involvement of the charging system, right?) Thanks
I want to do the same. I have owned a 67 Convertible, a 67 Fastback, and a 2006 Mustang GT. I currently own a Kia Soul EV and a Nissan Leaf EV. Luckily, I live in Florida, so the weather is always warm. Also I need it to be fast. When I moved down here with my 06 Stang, I thought I was fast, but when you're surrounded by Lamborghini's and McLaren's I really feel slow.
Why not just keep the factory Tesla transmission?
You can't keep the stock Tesla transmission if you want to run a car differential because the out put is at about a 9.37 to 1 ratio which means if you connected it to a 3 to 1 automotive differential it you have approximately a 27 to 1 ratio. You could climb walls but you could only go maybe 45 mph top speed with the motor running at 17,000 RPMs. My setup gives to about the same RPMs as an ICE motor and has a top speed of about 125 MPH.
@@Roadstercycle you can get gear sets in the 4-1 range for the Tesla box.
Yes, I know, you need to do more home work on the subject. You can't buy anything out there that does what I needed. with the 4 to 1 here are the numbers. 4 to 1 x 3 to 1 differential = 12 to 1 final ration. Most drag cars run a 4.12 final ratio. That 4 to 1 was built for range rovers and other vehicles with giant tires. @@mp-xt2rg
You can get lower ratios for the model 3 motor. It probably doesn't make sense to do all that anyway. Just running two motors is likely lighter and you can then use independent traction control.
Can you put a regulator to a single phased stator with five wires? two red wires, one black wire, one white wire and one yellow wire on the regulator. any help is appreciated cheers
Sounds like your trying to install a battery system on a non battery bike that uses AC to run the lighting and ignition. I have not tried that but others have. Check your model bikes forums.
@@Roadstercycle yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do to my PW80. Do you know of anyone that was successful in doing this?
Hello , my name is johnny i just bought a 2000 suzuki intruder 1500 , im having charging issues and could use a little help, i have the manual and in it is a pic showing a charger connector lead running of the positive side of the battery with what appears to be a fuse link in it but here is my problem, the guy that had the bike before me tried to run a bunch of those light strips and i guess they started killing his battery so he cut and ripped off the connector ends and left everything else hanging from the bike , so naturally i got rid of what was left and i think i took the CHARGER CONNECTOR LEAD off as well thinking it went to the lights he had on the bike, i have no clue where that wire is supposed to run to because it doesnt show it in the wiring diagram at all , if there is anything you might know about this please let me know,
