- In this video, I probably demonstrate a method to troubleshoot and repair a 12 volt charging system's voltage rectifier regulator. Many cars, trucks and motorcycles have them and they are easy to fix if you can find rectifier shims and micro collider rings.

give me a phone number please !
WTF are you talking about! He doesn"t tell you how to chisel out full set expoxy boards, wilst looking out for the elctronics in order to be able to do any of this shit, he chooses the EASIEST component to work on ... I call BS this doesn't help at all.
@@mardusfolm he has identified the repair with utmost simplicity and clarity.

As a professional electronics tech… I literally sat here dumbfounded for the first 60 seconds of the video. I had NO IDEA this was satire and honestly Got confused, and that weird dizzy feeling like I’m in a dream or something. i’m constantly hearing crazy off-the-wall shit and advice from inexperienced folks on the Internet… especially in regards to circuit troubleshooting. But your delivery was so bland and dead pan… I was just kind of blown away to the point of questioning my own electronics knowledge for a second 😂 like a really bad case of déjà vu or feeling like you just walked into the twilight zone!!!
Damn some of your videos are hilarious but I honestly wonder how many folks have completely fucked up their shit because they had no idea it was satire 😂 this is comedy gold
thank you, I need to do part II that demonstrates the disassembly of the potted and sealed style like I did with the CDI video
All theese years i v been putting the faulty rectifiers under my pillow during the night, and the rectifier fairy always takes them and leaves me a dollar.... but not any more! Thank you! You r a life saver. But you already know that....
You know I’ve always been kind of scared of fixing electronics, but now I feel like I have the power to fix my beta machine with a tape stuck in it. Thanks man! Badass!!
Just did this to an old regulator i had forgotten to throw away. Now it works better than new 46v on idle.
Thanks itchi you rock!!!
WHERE DID YOU GET THE KIT PLEASE
I finally found a use for the rectifier shims that I received for free with my purchase of a 5 gallon bucket of blinker fluid! Thanks Ichiban!
I noticed he repaired the only one with a removable backing. And never said one word about the 3 other normal rectifiers that we all have that cannot be accessed from the back.
this and the one about how to use a test light are on the short list of videos. I have set some of those rectifiers aside to demonstrate probable methods of removing the epoxy potting in a future video
I was thinking the same thing...
And everyone thought satire was dead.
They are badass
@@IchibanMoto where is the video of the epoxy removal and repair of the ones you claimed to have sat aside?
Still one of the best instructional tubers out there... cheers.
Micro colliderring..... Man i laughted so hard!!!! 😂😂
man, the way this guy tickles my mind/knowledge is incredible! I swear I don't follow any subscription except this one as I am curious to see just WTF his mind invents! Rectifier shims! You even got the freaking label down! "fix any rectifier". Man, I swear my mind is literally spinning and I am only at 1:02! I need to pause this vid and go drink some water or something.
You Sir are a credit to the motorbike industry, I would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
There should be a motorbike industry walk of fame, and Mister ItchyBum should definitely be immoratilsed on it with a bum print.
(British English: bum = US English fanny.
US English: bum = an individual who drinks wine under a concrete highway bridge.
British English: fanny = front bottom.
US English: fanny = back bottom.
I mean bum = fanny = back bottom).
second! best repair tutorials ever. use them here in south america to make lots of money!
Whoa... I've been looking for info on this so I can fix my scooter. Excellent channel for DIY mechanics.
Bahahaha!!!...I love the test light to confirm the fix🤣👍🇦🇺
I love the glue with cap on
@@magicbox9371 Yep, that was just another cost saving technique👍🤣
Badass. I'll pass this on to "Daves Dad". He just won a 1976 Harley XLCH in a raffle and cant get it running 👍
Thanks - just what i needed!! I can feel a badass repair coming on 👍
How did I missed this in years, thank you so much
1:50 - Probably the most nonchalant "Bad ass" I've ever heard. Good video
Damn, I've been in electronics over 50 years and that is the most entertaining video I've ever seen.
I swear these videos get funnier everytime
You always know just how to repair something, I hope to sit at your feet one day.
That's Badass! Now I can fix my Chinese Farley Mavidson 12,03cc Sporkster. Thankyou
That's a bad ass ride you own mister! I bet the 12,03cc's really deliver a heck of a grunt.
They really do they are truly Badass
I love the sound of wind passing through sporkster engine fins
Ichiban Moto I agree Mr Ichiban and I think it's because the Sporkster fins are made of forged alloy spolder. I Thankyou as always for your video tutorials.Lee.
hey dude great job , I have a question! My battery keeps getting overcharged and the caps pop off and smoke commes out.
Is this also a problem because of the rectifier regulator ?
Two words for this whole video. BAD ASS !!! I like it.
HA! This is awesome! May have been caused by neglect in changing the blinker fluid.
😂😂😂😂😂
That's a total badass repairing guide. By the way, you still need to replace the Electron Colliders cathode if found worn out too.
Do that with the other one that's sealed in that hard rubber and aluminum case
Have to stop watching your movies soon... that bad ass collection of tools makes me too jealous :´(
Your jealousy is unfounded. Mister ItchyBum freely shares tips on how to make his special hand tools - he even retails kits allowing you to easily craft your own specialised tools.
OMG I was crying for joy from the micro collider ring. While I don't have a chronological machine, my flux capacitor IS broken, but I can't find the proper size micro collider. Can you please shed some light on what to do in this predicament? Or where you source from in this case?
Funniest video in months! Thumbs up to the author. ;)
That's really badass way to repair rectifiers, my rectifier gave 250 Volts, it was the shim, I changed it now it's giving 12.000000001 volt ...... exact.
volts are a pleasant thing
man, totally subscribed. this is amazing useful info and saved me tons of money. thanks ichiban, bad ass
Surprised you did not check the smoke capsule inside the rectifier unit. If anything goes wrong the rectifier ruptures it to signal to the user it has failed. Some have a scent not unlike burning wood added to give a visual and sensory failure warning. After overhauling the rectifier it is important to replace the smoke capsule to reset the failure warning system. I keep a stock of spare smoke capsules in my shop as seem to need a lot of them when working on older bikes.
I think you got this wrong. As far as I know, the actual cause of electronics breaking is when the smoke leaks out. That's why I always make sure that my electronic devices are properly sealed. Unfortunately lots of electronic equipment have big holes in them. I suspect it is part of the "planned obsolescence" that most manufacturers deal with in order to sell more product. They intentionally let the smoke out. Shame on them!
@@LinusNil I've just drilled a hole in mine and piped it up to a smoke machine so should last years now, if on a motorcycle just pipe it directly to your exhaust pipe
Thank you for this tip, I ran my 2 stroke exhaust into my voltage regulator housing and now it's good to go, should have no more issues
สนใจ
Wtf lol 😂
Yeah, because I have all of these parts just laying around in my house.
This is the most useful Ichiban video yet ! I must have busted about a dozen of those fuckers since I started riding. I just threw them away ! Who knew?
Thanks man -
stop throwing away rectifiers !
Trouble is they're usually full of this schmoo that you have to pick out with a weapons-grade tooth pick. Unless you have phenolic termites.....
vitaly deuterium think of all the time and money you could have saved
great thanks bro.... i event confuse to find rectifire for my old bike. its helpfull.
Awesome fix, that seemed easy.
Thanx Ichiban, for the super video on repair of rectifier !!
for all those who are having trouble finding shims online (myself included). just use foil paper. You can paint it with metallic paint or cover with gold flakes for better electron flow. just remember to seal the gold with hodge podge. you can get everything needed from your local craft store.
did you check the bearing inductor, is very important so it will extend life of the rectifier, and a little grease wont hurt keep things rolling, bad ass, you are incredible.
I will double check. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Two thumbs up. I've found that if you fill the casings of rectifiers with water before reassembly it helps keep them cool.
good tip!
YEP, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE AN ICHY BUM!!! VERY INFORMATIVE, GOOS STUFF. THANK YOU!
The Carl Sagan of the DIY mechanics!
That is Badass~! Great Money Saver Ichiban~!
Hi, I saw the bulb glow three times, but what did you actually do to test the unit.
Thanks man. Right to the point and love the humor. That's bad ass.
Yea mate , thanks for the vid but the only one you fix , is the one nobody really uses anymore , but you do show the newer ones that you can’t fix because they’re solid state , or are they , so any chance you can show how to crack them open ? Do you cut away the back resin.
thank you for this amazing video, it really helps me fixing my car. may I ask where can I buy the micro collider ring? thanks a lot
just get a plumbers o ring from the hardware store
@@craibe4709 Is that all it is ? A regular o-ring ?
@@niconine268 I was fuckin hammered when I wrote that. Ive done it before with other o rings but ive used regular plumbers o rings for engine stuff
from the Great Depression, WW II generation; Use it up and wear it out before you throw it away.! Thanks for the info.
wow learning new things through yT everyday.. you are the man
✌️😎 ty yrs later lol. I had no idea.
I've always been intimidated by electronics. This tutorial has removed the mysteries for me. Thanks and baddest of ass. 👍
Direct, brief and clear. I love it.
Cheers from Indonesia
I always learn so much. Thanks!
Nice rectumfrier tutorial helped a lot
Bad ass alright. When mine blows I'll be able to look up your post.
Thanks this video was long over due, especially when trying to start a old classic that has been sitting up for a while, could you tell me where to buy the shims and o rings I take it can get anywhere, thanks. michael
I used a plumbus to rectify my shim and it's working fine - all 6 ounces of electricity are a flowing!
People have been asking about this comment at work. Guys, make sure your Plumbus is not faulty before you rectify your shim, I had one guy trying this exact thing with a 2 year old Plumbus that was obviously worn out from mechanical TNR 3's.
Could you please add a testing video so I can determine if my rectumfrier is working or not. BTW, you could upgrade to gold for higher voltage output.
i will add that to the video list !
WTF, What kind of badass black magic did he do there.
Micro Collider Ring ??? Shim ? I have never heard these terms with a strong electronic and mechanical background. Are they from Thomas Edison or Michael Faraday. What were you touching with the Light Bulb...you did not explain the connection points? Where did you get those obscure parts, you did not elaborate. Other than these mystical points it was an enlightening and innovative posting.
Thanks for that, would have love see how you tackled the one with the hardened goop in the back of it. Have you ever done a video on replacing points with a Electronic ignition system?
i will add the goop style to the future video list. i have done an ignition vid
😂🤣🤣🤣
If you don't have any electrical grade assembly glue you can always use a elbow grease proof, water resistant, metal grade wood glue with the same results.
Very impressive! But what about a rectifier that the whole board was dipped in a silicon block? How would we go about and take all of that appart?
i will add that to the video list !
Great lesson video. Last time I throw away a rectumfryer.
I can not believe the number of people that think this is real. This video is a spoof, a joke. It is not meant to be taken for real.
Yeah, I noticed that when he tested that thing with no conecction at all.
Some people have to find out the hard and sometimes expensive way. I would have been more impressed if he just would have been honest and said. The only way to repair a rectifier is to purchase a new one.
Be aware Sheeple, the "man" is ripping you off. Be like our honourable senpai, and learn and be better people. Peace. J.
BRO, YOUR BAD ASZ- THANK YOU FOR THE EDUCATIONAL VIDEO AND EXPERIENCE.
YOU are Badass! Great vid!
My Rectumfryer uses British nonferrous shim stock available at any Laundromat that still performs Martinizing .. very rare in these trying times
Should I wear my tinfoil hat while working with electrons???
wholly crap, I had no idea that was so easy!! been trying to get a good replacement for my 1991 Suzuki Bandit 400 and have had no luck. I will try this!! do you sell those shim kits for my bike?
Bro he's a troll
can you do a video on tuning a carb to a pod/air filter cone
I did a video on rejetting pods👍
@@IchibanMoto what’s the title ?
I had a Honda cx500 come in the shop with various electrical problems last week. After several hours of poking and prodding my mate announced that it had lost its earths. I mulled this over whilst imbibing some mulling over liquid and came up with the solution. I went to my back yard and returned with a bucket of my finest earth. After liberally sprinkling this over the cx500 I went for a start. Guess what?,nothing!,clearly lost earths was not the fault!. I informed my now shame faced mate of his errors and the problems of jumping to conclusions.what else can I say?,the man is a fool!
haha! everyone's an expert
this 89 Sportster rectifier isnt becoming unglued damn it.... but once it does, it'll be badass and then I can hit the badass rectifier repair store and get some rubber O-rings and copper..... w00t!!!
dear Ichiban Moto you just brought back some memories from old gone days when I had my bike shop. I offered people to fit "half a power band" from a GSXR1100 on their NSR125. And if I thought they could handle the increase in power, I'd offer to add a few more "capers" to their "capering system". But the best one was the prank I played to Harley owners, I won't mention it as this place is full of touchy Harley owners and when they all thumb me down at the same time I lose my ability to comment on youtube, so I'll just shut the fuck up
I am missing those days when shims where cheap, now it costs more than the complete rectifier.
put your resin filled rectifier in the microwave and it will become liquid , keep the liquid on a hot stove , repair the rectifier and pour the liquid back in . put it in the fridge for one hour to harden the resin back to normal.
pro tip
Wtffff it will break microwave and die
Don't make the angry pixies…er… angry…
Glad to see it choochin' again!
I know that's another channel reference.
Love these vids!
Why no Ichiban Moto stickers?
😂😂😂😂 Badass! These never get old.
then I shall film more things :D
When you see someone working on electronics while wearing a metal ring you know he's an idiot or it's fake.
Nice, now I will repair my relegator rectumfriers
ye i'm just going to buy a new one for twice the price and four times less messing about, but if there ever comes a time when i can't buy one this is handy to know👍
Could this be draining my 4 wheeler battery? Did you just touch the light to the diodes?
Quantum Entanglement can be both a blessing and a curse. In these cases, you can use QE to access the internals. No need to Dremmel the cases open. Also, the best electrical bonding cement can be undone with the application of Acetone (fingernail polish remover) so even if QE wasn't initiated by the manufacturer, you can still get many of these cases open. Beware that Acetone causes bronchitis so don't use it around.
u da bess...I m gonna try this when mine goes
Very good job
bad asss i fixed mines like that i have a 85.honda shadow vt750 and mi charging wasn't good o followed ur video and boomm bad ass bike is running like a champ ...👍👍👍👍
I couldn't help but notice that in the upper right corner of the package with the new rectifier shims was a silhouette picture of a girl with a ponytail. I was wondering if it was of any significance? Possibly that the shims come as male and female components, much like plumbing fittings? Also, is the electrical grade assembly glue you use to reassemble the unit a standard item available from our friends at Nickletown Customs, or is it a standard off-the-shelf item available at my local grocer?
tpitman that is Princess Yen, ¥, the retail price. Nickel Town Customs does carry the assembly glue as well as various specialist shops.
Sure now you put up this video after I spent $125 on one for my bike. Well now I know for next time, thanks!
Where do you get the shims and coil from?
Please, is the head lamp flickering if the rectifier is bad.....or why the head lamp, brake light are flickering when the engine is running on idle?
OMG it looks so easy
Bad ass. Why you don't repair the other one that full of sealed insulator? Hahahaha...
oh yes! that could be a new video for next year. i will put that on the list
I love this guy!!!
You owe me 2.15 minutes of my life
cannot do this on a motor cycle VR, the electronics are covered with epoxy, for stable use during road bumps, pot holes and if you have a Harley the engine vibration.
Good video. I got mine working again.
Thanks for the video, awesome info ,keep up the great work everyone ☆☆☆☆☆ .
Was this a joke?
I have a broken rectifier on my motorcycle (gsxr 750) and i can't find OEM part so i woudl like to rebuild it myself. But where do i find rectifier shims ?
And what are you supposed to do if the issue isn't the part he replaced? Like a bad diode?
Wish you would make more videos! I wouldn't have needed to waste my time and money with that $7 used ebay RR I bought.
Ill be impressed when you repair a selinia rectifier
