Rectifier-regulator

The regulator (1) is fixed to the RH air scoop (2).
The rectifier/regulator consists of an aluminium casing containing the diodes that rectify the current produced by the alternator.
It also contains an electronic device that regulates the current supplied by the alternator in accordance with battery voltage.
If the battery is drained, the current has the value necessary to restore optimum operating conditions of the battery.
In contrast, if the battery is fully charged, the current value will be lower.
Notes
Check the charging current using the DDS tester, following the instructions given in the paragraph "Testing the battery charging
system" (Sect. D 5).
Removal of the regulator
Unscrew the screws (1) securing the LH air scoop (2) to the frame.
Release the clutch hose (A) from the LH air scoop (2).
