    Greetings!

    Just bartered for a VF1000R......needs work but strong motor......going to restore this big bad girl this winter but want to ride for the rest of the season.....I am having engine shut off issues which I believe is fuel related...but more importantly I shot a thermal laser gun at the rectifier and it was 190 to 200 F!!.....this cant be normal......although output varies from 13.5 at idle to 15+ at 5000 plus...is this rectifier toast or is it being overdriven/overloaded by alternator/stator?

    Any help will be appreciated

    You are over-charging. It will fry your battery and possibly make it boil acid everywhere.
