Good clear explanation...I'm at the beginning of finding out why my battery looses charge. Voltage in to it at idle is 16-17 V. I think it's the rectifier; but you have given me the confidence to faultfinding. Thanks!
Nice video Clear step by step explanation Will do the same on my Speed Triple in an effort to increase the voltage charge to the Lithium battery which needs 14.3 to 14.6 to charge
I've got just got a tiger 955i and have some electric weirdness - slight flickering lights - the battery with the bike off is 12.8 volts so Im guessing, cos I have no actually idea what Im doing :P, is ok. Running at idle it only goes up to 13. something. Going to check exactly what you've done to see if there's the right voltage coming out of the regulator and at the fuse box. Now... how do I find the regulator connector :P never had the side panels off and cant seem to see it
Hi.... Start on the lefthand side of your bike . You will see a cable coming out the side of the engine where the alternator lives.... Follow that cable it leads to a plug.. Then that plug cable leads to the rectifer. Then the rectifer cable leads to the plug. Which in turn leads to the battery. Should show this in one of the 3 videos I posted...
Lol I hit post instead of enter before I had finished.. So...... 12.8v is good.. 13v is low.. It should be over 14.2v 14.4v ish.. If your lights are flickering it maybe a bad earth. It will take about 15 minutes to go through the 3 test in the 3 videos. If all 3 check out OK.. Then it maybe a bad earth... Check all earth points have clean contacts to the bike frame..
@@jsydev Wow it was bitch to get to. I replaced the rectifier - screwed behind the frame - absolute nightmare trying to get it off - the cables were cable tied to the fuel rail. But cured my flickering lights. I've still got a short to ground according to OB2 error code on Tune ECU. But I already knew that. I replaced all the lights on the tiger with LED lights and found if I moved a cable behind the dash, it cut all power to the dash. Next step. Tracing that problem...
@@sirkristoferTV lol ...yep.... I call that fun but only the day after I finish the job.... I'm sure it will be just as much fun cleaning and Securing the Earth/ground connections.. Did you use an original triumph rectifier or something else ??? Have fun

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.

Maybe explains why my 2003 Tiger 955i has all this wiring butchered and ham-fisted alterations made using an extra inline fuse... ? many thanks..
Nice video

Then that plug cable leads to the rectifer.
Then the rectifer cable leads to the plug.
Which in turn leads to the battery.

@@jsydev Nah. I found one on eBay new for dirt cheap, 40 quid. The price being that cheap is a bit suspect but seems to be running fine as of now
