Bad voltage rectifier?

Simple math tells me 17 volts is 40% more than 12 volts. I'm suprised you haven't cooked more electrical items.

It's a bad picture, but this shows whereabouts on the bike it goes (Nº 10) Looks like it's just two connectors, then one bolt, to remove it. Looks simple enough to save you some $$$$ on professional labour.

There are two bolts, I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. But still, it is an easy task. The other bolt runs through a bracket, on the other side of the rectifier.

Yup, ordered it for about $100, and replaced it last week. I fried my new battery so I'm waiting on a replacement to come... It stinks not being able to ride lol...

Waiting is better than no riding ever. Glad to hear you solved the problem.
