Hi Guys / Girls I have spent a few hours searching the forums on here regarding the dreaded rectifier issue. I am now on my 2nd Rectifier and I suffer the usual symptoms with the clock resetting to 0:00 therefore I assume the Rectifier is on its way out again. I have fitted a new battery and the bike is maintained on a trickle charger (Optimate) therefore their is no plausible reason for this to happen. My question is simply: "What is the best Rectifier to buy?" I am familiar with the later OEM part which has been posted on here but I note that that too has a 25% fail rate. I would prefer a UK stockist in order to keep the costs down, alternatively the other Rectifier I have found is the "1998-1999 Honda VFR800F VFR 800F Regulator Rectifier Heavy Duty" from this website in the States: Regulator Rectifier VFR800F Honda Any help on the best part would be most appreciated :wink:
