If the DC source biases the diode off, then the output will be zero. If it biases the diode on, then the output will be DC, with the voltage being nearly the same as the input voltage.
The voltage rectifier is on the left side of the motorcycle just in front of the rear tire.
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
check under the front fenders
under the left rear fender next to the shock toward front of the bike
Its located between the front wheel and the back wheel of the bike !
The regulator/rectifier is usually at the front of the scooter. You should see it after removing the panel with the headlights.
If memory serves me right, on the 1980 model, the rectifier is located on the starboard, (right hand) side, of the front cowling support plate. On some models, the location was moved aft, just above the switchbox. If you're still not sure, follow the two yellow wires comming from the stator (under the flywheel), down to the rectifier.
Panzer Front happened in 2001.
Syrmian Front happened in 1945.
Yugoslav Front happened in 1945.
The Hybrid Front happened in 1994.
