Replacement regulator/rectifier for Aprilia Caponord ETV1000
For Aprilia Caponord ETV1000, we offer a replacement 30A serial-parallel regulator 14V-3FHVSP-30A-AX-KS-LI. The warranty is 4 years.
The 14V-3FHVSP-30A-AX-KS-LI voltage regulator is the best replacement for the original regulator on the Aprilia Caponord ETV1000. The original regulator on the Aprilia Caponord ETV1000 is of the parallel type and results in permanent 100% loading of the stator winding. On the market, there are cheaper parallel mosfet regulators that heat up less, but they will still maintain maximum loading of the stator winding of the generator. Therefore, it is better to choose a serial type regulator that will load the generator proportionally to consumption. The result is a reduction in stator temperature and an extension of its lifespan.
Many motorcyclists decide to replace the original regulator with a better serial regulator only after one or more generator failures. Some decide to replace the original parallel regulator preventively before a failure occurs, but if a new stator is not installed, it is possible that the stator will still fail due to many hours of operation at high temperatures even after installing a serial type regulator. More about the advantages of the serial regulator can be found in the article.
Regulation of the battery voltage is more than good. Details about the regulator are in the documentation: 14V-3FHVSP-30A-AX-KS-LI_en.pdf
The new regulator will probably not fit in the same place, so additional brackets are needed to connect and secure it to the installation. The regulator should not be mounted in a place where it is exposed to hot air, water, small rocks, or mud from the wheel.
The expected charging voltage should be 14.1 to 14.3 VDC. Pay attention to ensure that the wires are not oxidized and that the connections are okay. If the achieved battery voltage is lower, it is necessary to find the reason for the voltage loss according to the instructions. The minimum charging voltage of the battery that ensures good charging is 13.9 VDC. The regulator has a built-in LED that lights up if the regulator fails to achieve the set voltage on its terminals. If the stator winding is in an unauthorized connection with the housing, the LED will light up even when the engine is turned off. In that case, it is recommended to disconnect one terminal from the battery and repair the stator winding because charging will not work until the stator connection with the housing is removed.
Warning: The regulator must not be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner!
