nc24 reg/rec change

[olliepong]

I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can fit a reg/ rec from a different bike ( think it was r6 or gsxr) to an nc24. Does anybody know please as mine has gone again!!. Thanks

What condition is your battery in? Is it old?

When replacing the reg-rec a lot of people neglect the battery, and this is what often causes the issues.

A weak old failing battery will stress the reg/rec out more.

Also if you don't use your bike regularly always keep the battery fully charged up with a bike battery charger.

You can fit any similar reg/rec, a Yamaha R6 has a much larger heatsink area so can stand more abuse than the stock one so is less likely to fail.

1999-2005 reg/rec but you will have to cut the plug off and make your own connectors.

We had the same problem when I bought her 2 years ago. At that point we fitted a new reg rec and alternator. She has a brand new battery. Want to upgrade the reg rec as she is in regular use and knew I had seen it can be done. Thanks for your help

R6 one isnt too difficult to fit if you solder some spade connectors on the wire, dont just crimp them.

Ive converted nc24s in the past, I fitted a longer wire and moved it to the rear subframe like it is on the NC30 as it gets warm in the middel of the bike.
