Jim,
There's actually a BUNCH of threads online about the 06/07 gixxers and the rectifiers getting fried. Bunch of people have posted up pics of them too. Concerns the crap out of me.

Interesting. Well I have a spare one if you need it. The plug is broken off, but the wires are fine.
I actually relocated mine to a place that keeps it cooler.

Re: New rider chic looking to meet other girls , lowell ma 06gixxer600
and that's exactly the problem, the stock location of the rectifier has a ton of heat and they eventually fry. Some guy on gixxer.com makes a bracket that relocates it to the side of the bike away from the radiator. Bought one just haven't relocated it yet.

Hi, I like long walks on the beach, motorcycle rides, chick flicks dont bother me and I'm not afraid to cry, my only fault is that I care

Re: New rider chic looking to meet other girls , lowell ma 06gixxer600
I definitely need to relocate it . Hoping that the rectifier is all that is damaged :( and that it won't take forever to get fixed . Happy I got off the hwy when I did ....

Re: New rider chic looking to meet other girls , lowell ma 06gixxer600
here's a picture of where i mount my rectifier.
i know the factory setup has a bracket there for the horn. i just used a 10mm nut into one of those threads for the bracket & run the wiring through the side of the frame.
NOTE: dont pay attention to the broken frame

After alil research I guess the rectifier caught fire which seems to be a common problem with the 06/07 . Sucks
Shoot. That sucks. Glad you made it okay. Kudos to the good Samaritan who reached out to help.
On another note: sounds suspicious that a guy, (behind you need I say) was following you up with a gallon of water to help you...
...I Kid...I kid...
Seriously, glad you are okay. You can count on NESR to help you. I can already tell that you can take a joke okay.

The bracket I have will mount it like it is in the pic below. Ton of airflow to keep it cool.

When your bike breaks, it ALWAYS sucks. Doesn't matter what bike or who you are.
Also, it's guaranteed the weather will be spectacular while the bike is in the shop, the shop will be 100% late compared with the delivery estimate, the price will be 3X what you expected, and when you get it back there will be rain storms, floods, and hordes of locusts.
