What is a motorcycle rectifier and what does it do?
Can a bad rectifier cause the motorcycle not to start?
Yes, a faulty rectifier can cause a motorcycle to refuse to start or run poorly. If the rectifier is unable to convert the alternator's AC voltage into DC voltage, the motorcycle's battery will not be charged, and the electrical components will not be powered correctly. In some cases, a bad rectifier can even damage the motorcycle's battery or other electrical components.
