Hi I think this http://www.rmstator.com/ProductInfo....F&cf=v1YY42952 is a replacement for the original connector if anyone is interested. I haven't ordered one yet, was just looking as mine started to go on one pin. Spotted it early and tightened/cleaned the pin sealed with grease. Its been fine for 18 months now. Although I may open it up again and see how it is fairing.

Cheers Scott

That looks like the kiddy. I probably would have got one of them if I had known about that site. Give the terminals a pinch, bit of grease, new connector and your're golden.

My regulator has just been changed by Yamaha by warranty when the default one melted... They also changed the loom. My bike is � 2008, and the change was done in september 2012.

Is this new regulator an updated and better one?? Do I have to worry about it to be overloaded in the future?

You're lucky you have a five year warranty in Sweden!

The original problem wasn't anything to do with overloading as such, just a crappy connector block. The replacement reg/rect itself is the same as the old one, but a different part number and an apparently (?) improved connector. I haven't heard of anyone having trouble after the original has been replaced by Yamaha. I wouldn't worry, but I would keep an eye on it.

If I buy from http://www.roadstercycle.com/ which is the rectifier I need or part number please for the 'super mosfet kit'

I got the Super Mosfet Kit FH020AA. The pre crimped and built one. Easy to fit and it's been on there about 55,000 miles without fault. I would ask if you could have the pos and neg cables a couple of inches longer as one of them was a bit of a stretch (can't remember which one)

Thanks UKBrian!
was there a need for the universal mounting backplate?

I certainly didn't buy one but I may have had to do a little filing or drilling, I can't quite remember, it was a long time ago. After looking at my photos in 'post 3' it was the negative cable that could have been a few inches longer. As it is it makes it difficult to get the air filter out.
