Answering questions and posting pictures recently has gotten me to finally finish up my full writeup on fixing the 09/10 charging systems. It describes everything I've done with mine, including EBR rotor, stator rewind, and regulator swap. Inspired by Hildstrom's writeup. Here's it is (first draft, at least; this link will always go to the latest version though): http://projects.baf.cc/pdf/motorcycle/1125charging system.pdf | ||

Very nice write-up Baf. Thanks for taking the time to document these steps. | ||
| Andros |
Classy!! | ||

Wow! that PDF document is so professional! | ||

Baf; As an owner of an '09 R that has not had any problems yet, Thank You so much for taking the time to do this! I know it is inevitable that I will have to fix mine someday, and this summary will really help. Thanks!! Dave | ||

Baf, Thanks for taking the time to document your experience. I added a link to your pdf on my page. | ||
| Andros |
Baf if you feel like writing some more I would love to see a step by step guide on how to wire the plugs onto the ce605. =) | ||
| Baf |
Wow, thanks for all the compliments! What do you need to know about wiring the plugs on the CE-605 specifically? The 3 input wires go to the stator plug (order doesn't matter), and the two output plugs go to the wiring harness (red to red, black to black). If there's anything specific you'd like to see elaborated on, let me know. | ||

Thanx baf! Maybe a pic of the vr with the plugs on? | ||

Is there a alternative silicone for the "HD High-Performance Gray sealant #99650-02? I really don't want to purchase any amount of material from HD unless forced to.  | ||

@Andros - there are some pics of it installed. I don't have any pics handy of just the regulator. @Dualbuells - I just used black RTV and it's been fine. I used this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-82180-Maximum-Resistance-Silicone/dp/B0002UEN1U (Message edited by baf on March 04, 2013) | ||

Great write-up Baf. Thank you.  | ||

Informative write-up. I've got an '08 so hopefully none of this will ever affect me, but an interesting read nonetheless. | ||

great info, thanks | ||

Have you had any issues with the VR being mounted there? I'm thinking of following your write up but my bike is my commuter, and i'm thinking that area gets quite wet when it rains... | ||
| Baf |
No issues with VR yet. I wouldn't worry about the rain, the CE-605 is all potted/sealed up. | ||
| Websii |
Thank you sir! | ||
| Froggy |
The VR is designed to be exposed to the elements. | ||

Awesome write-up Baf. I am currently in the process of fixing my charging system and this is a lot of help. My only question is in regards to the Deutsch DTP06-4P connector you listed under "materials required" for the CE-605SB Regulator installation. I cant find the Deutsch DTP06-4P connector anywhere. I can only find DTP04-4P or DTP06-4S. Not sure if its a typo in your write-up, or I'm looking in the wrong places. Some guidance for this newbie would be much appreciated. | ||

How did you obtain 295Ft lbs as recomended by EBR with out going out and buying an expensive torque wrench? I stopped at my local mechanics who I am friends with and their torque wrench only went to 195ft lbs? | ||
| Baf |
Jdino - oops, sorry about that.It is indeed the DTP04-4P. Make sure you get the stamped pins, not the solid pins, the appropriate deutsch connector crimpers (I got mine on ebay), and one of the sealing plugs since you're only going to use 3 of the 4 positions on the connector. I'll have to update my writeup with all of this info. Hardcorps - I used an impact wrench that topped out at 300 ft-lbs, so I just torqued it on with that. Some folks would advise against doing that though. Otherwise, you can go low-tech and do some math on it. If you put 295 pounds 1 foot out from the socket on a breaker bar, that's 295 ft-lbs of torque. Just take 295 and divide it by how many pounds you weigh, and stand on the breaker bar that many feet out.  (Message edited by BAF on June 15, 2013) | ||

One can also get a torque multiplier and do the math to obtain 300 ft-lbs for whatever torque wrench you have, I believe. That process was explained on BWB before - search the archives. | ||
