    Had a VERY similar problem from an eBay regulator on my Aprilia RS 125. The RS has a built in Voltmeter and the regulator was putting out 19 volts into my lithium battery. This eventually went up in smoke.

    I didn't realise that this was a Chinese regulator as it was £40 and thought that was about right for a genuine one, which turned out to be more like £100.

    So I'd put money on the aftermarket regulator, get a used genuine one.

    @Calum and

    Thanks for getting back to me both of you

    Ah right…Does sound like it most likely was the cheap regulator then. And potentially the clicking starter solonoid didn’t help.

    I’ve actually just went up the loft to my box of DT125X spares and come across another regulator with the same stamp on the back as my old original one so hopefully that should do the trick. Also rather than using my aftermarket starter solonoid which just got delivered I’ve just found a spare original one.

    In my box of spares there’s also a spare loom with the 4 pin plug I will need. Before I chop it off to use, do you know if I can buy this plug online? To save chopping a good condition loom

    I’ve linked pictures and the plug I could do with.

      I’ve never found a compatible one. But they are common as fux. Do a search for ‘rectifier female socket motorcycle’ or similar…

          Did you cross-reference with other Yamaha models,this company does it a lot and uses same parts to other bikes with just another part number.I think the XT's (400-500-600) use the same.

          I need my tools and a pile of junk.....

            Had a quick look atm but struggling to find anything similar atm that would fit. All different styles isnt there and you have to remember the regulator pins have a plastic wall around them so would probably need to modify that as well and different style might not stay on where it most likely wont fit the same ‘locking pin bit on the reg’

            Will keep looking and worse comes to worse I’ll just chop it off this spare loom lol.

              Thanks for that. I didn’t think about doing that.

              I just checked and part numbers for regualtor / Rec on dt125re are

              1D0H196001
              Replaces 1D0-H1960-00

              Will look tomorrow I I can find other models using the same part

              As mentioned above though I won’t need to buy another regulator if the spare I have works fine but definitely good idea if not or if something breaks in the future

              Cheers

                    Cheers for posting that. Handy as fux, I plan on swapping my probably Chinese RR out for a later type one like yours. I didn’t even spot that the plugs are different…
                    Saved me a lot of searching. I did not realise how many different kinds are out there!…

                      Sorry late reply, only got round to putting new plug on the other day but yeah no worries man

                      Replacement plug worked nicely. I replaced the regulator/rec and starter solenoid with oem parts as well and started lovely off the button. No more clicking from the starter solenoid or dodgy aftermarket rectifier going up in smoke

                      Cheers
