The reason most regulators are in an easy location, is to provide better cooling. When the fins can get air flow, as when they are on the outer perimeter and can get circulation of cool air, they dissipate heat better and resist failure.
Been gone awhile now, but for me, it was a process of elimination, from the battery, alternator, etc. Lengthy process, to get to a rectifier failure. Once discovered, was an easy and relatively affordable fix.
@@stanza77 it’s been so long now since the bike was fixed and sold, I scarcely remember the symptoms. Seems like dimly lit headlights, intermittent loss of power, cutting off, stuff like that.
Some symptoms I had were the headlights getting very dim, hard to start the bike, the gage needles would drop to zero then jump back up intermittently, and the high beam LED on the dash would almost go dark when the turn signal was blinking. This is a very common issue on these older SV650s
Check the green plug bak of ignition wriggle them and see if dash lights turn off on bit of a brick to get to but that's wat. Happn to mine ,good luck let me know
If you go through an authorized Suzuki dealership, you’ll pay through the nose for an OEM brand new part, which of course is guaranteed to work. You can surf online like we did, snag one from some Amazon or eBay salvage shop, or a local bike salvage yard, if you can find one. We’ve actually used all three methods, and for the most part haven’t been burned.
Rick's Motorsports Electrics is good. I've dealt with them before. They have very good customer service and I think that their electronics & attention to detail beats OEM

Good point, and very true.
I changed out my stator and flywheel and bought a brand new battery. The battery is still getting drained? Could this be why?
Not saying it’s the issue, but certainly could be a factor.
@@roaddirttv I changed out the regulator and I've been riding most of the day with a good charged battery woohoo lol so the regulator was the problem
@@russellmiller1885 great to know! Thanks for sharing the update.
What were the symptoms before you fixed it? My starter clicks but doesn’t turn the engine over? Could it be the rectifier?

@@roaddirttv what were the symptoms leading to the repair?

so is this why my bike when im on freeway and im going about 60 to 70 out of no reason turns off???
Could certainly be a factor, in our limited experience,

Where would be a good place to find a new affordable regulator?
