Hi, im new here and i have had my 02gsxr600 for a few months now and my first post is a problem . I am having a problem with my bike not charging my battery as my bike stranded me far away from home. It was always running strong, but i didnt ride for a week and went out and my electronics shut down and a minute later the bike died after 30 minutes of riding. I then bought a new battery thinking it was the problem sinceit was theorignal battery, but then it died and drained again.... 30 minutes later. I been looking through other posts here about this situation, but cant get enough specifics i need to tell wether its the stator or rectifier. The rectifier wires were a little corroded, so i cleaned them with electricalcleaner and now i wentriding on the almost dead battery for 30 minutes and it didnt die. The ignitionrelay is clicking 1 time when starting the bikeso thats working. I unplugged stuff and plugged it back in with the battery disconnected checking connections also.

I tested the rectifier wires,3 yellow wires that are hot and 1 red hot and 1 black/white stripe isground. I am getting 13-13.3v at idle on the red wire and 6.5-6.6 on all the yellow wires which i read in other posts is bad? If i rev the bike thoughthe voltagegoes up if that makes a difference. Also the rectifier getsscorchingHOT. I am hoping someone can please help me out here and tell me whats wrong from the information i gave, if not ill get more rightawayto solve my problem


Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
