Motorcycle Regulator Rectifier Diagnostic and Installation guide On 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan
I install a new Regulator Rectifier on my Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle as my battery is not holding a charge. I discuss exactly what Regulator Rectifier is on a motorcycle and show an easy step by step installation. it's not a big job but when the rectifier burns out on your bike you will need to replace it as soon as possible. This video is relevant to any motorbike owner regardless of brand as Rectifiers are pretty standard regardless of the motorcycle you ride. I also discuss my upcoming motorcycle trip around Europe in July.

We thought ye'd bought a Honda!. Organising a stoning we were. I was having trouble with my battery discharging,cured it with an isolation switch fitted on the battery earth terminal. There was problems with the reg/rec,the diodes were letting the charge flow back into the alternator,eventually this will damage the stator. I can leave the bike for weeks with no issues. Glad to have ye back.

Noticed the welding on your frame is a lot nicer than 2 Himalayan bikes I looked at my local FL, USA dealer. The welding looked very crude, uneven and spotty even. 3 hoses were also out of their clamps on 1 of the bikes, not a big deal but still….
Good to have you back!👍

Welcome back, you only look a year older. Got to Portugal and back last June, then to France in September. Broke down second day. A comedy of errors you wouldn't believe. After a no fix at RE Caen, it was shipped back to RE Ecosse in Aberdeen after two months. Badly damaged in transit. Wait for parts. Fixed but not fixed twice, then, finally the injector shown faulty .More wait for parts. Nine months without bike. Goes better now than it ever did, been an intermittent fault from new. It's getting difficult to mount with my old body so trading it in for a Honda SH350i scooter. Setting off for Portugal after the 600 mile first service. Hope to see you on the road, if you speak to scooterists. Go well.

Were you able to find an upgraded version of the RR? And stator? Would love to hear what which version you decided on. Thanks.
Hello, Is there any wiring guide available for Himalayan bs6? Little doubtful on the wiring of negative terminal from battery.
Great to have you back. I missed you. Did you get rid of the moisture in the speedometer?

Thanks buddy aye it's never come back since the fix
At 4:38 there is a white mark on the large earth lead. From experience working on electric Mechanical handling equipment ,when a high current cable gets lose you can get an arch or a build up of corrosion (a white flaring). If this was your case it could cause no start and erratic charge symptoms. Obviously after fitting your new unit every thing would be ok.

Mate, how did you diagnose that it was the rectifier that had gone bad? Could have been the alternator or the wiring? Curious because I'm facing a similar issue. Struggling to diagnose the problem.

Thanks Richard. I'm just planning a Euro trip at the minute so more videos about that to come. iv also started converting a Luton van. it will be a full converted off grid camper with a small garage that will carry the motorbike so I will also do a video series about that on the channel.
Wb! Just got my Himalayan. Trying to decide on side panniers. (Lomo large look good but not sure they fit the orig rack). Got a 50l roll bag but thats pretty much full. (It works but getting your leg over n I'd rather use side and in center just a few things) There's a bagtecs option comes with its own rack I think..

Glad to see your return to the channel. I missed both your mechanical fixes/upgrades and your historical tours. Please let’s us know if you are going to reinstall all of your removed accessories. I noticed that your foot peg was missing a chunk, the KTM 390 Adventure peg are a perfect fit as a replacement. Take care,
@WeeJaunt

Thanks mate aye av replaced the footpeg but do need a decent set il look at the 390 pegs cheers
my question would be do you have any of these accessory coming from a relay that cuts off when bike isnt running ? your standing draw will keep pulling down the batterys voltage over time and you will keep over working your charging system and have to keep replacing parts .. hope you have considered this..
