Description
Uprated Regulator Rectifier — Hyosung GV / GT / GTR 125 & 250 (Carb)
A reliable regulator rectifier is central to a healthy charging system — it stabilises voltage, protects your battery, and reduces stress on the stator (the generator).
Hyosung’s small silver OEM units have a well-known history of running hot and occasionally failing (there was even a small recall on early silver types). The uprated unit here is a direct-fit replacement that uses improved internals and a larger heatsink to run cooler and deliver steadier output.
| ❄ Runs Cooler Large heatsink & improved cooling |
⚡ Stable Voltage Less strain on battery & stator |
| 🔌 Plug & Play Uses OEM connector + correct polarity |
💡 More Consistent Lighting Fewer dimming issues at low revs |
| 🛠 Reliable Upgrade Better components than many stock units |
✔ Peace of Mind Reduces common charging faults |
This is not a “bigger is always better” claim — it’s an honest upgrade: improved thermal design and modern components designed to last longer than many OEM regulators. A good regulator protects the entire charging system — if the regulator fails it can overwork the stator, flatten the battery, and cause flickering or dim lights. Replacing a suspect OEM regulator early can save you a bigger electrical repair later.
Customer proof: We include running clips and gallery photos from customers who have fitted these units — take a look at the pictures to see real-world mounting examples and orientation tips.
Typically 3–5 working days (Royal Mail)
| 🔧 Fitting Notes | 🏍 Model Fitment |
| This uprated regulator is larger than the tiny OEM units — it often needs creative mounting (bracket, sideways mount, or under-tray). See our gallery for ideas. Connector orientation matters (see the black box below). |
|
⚠ IMPORTANT FITTING NOTE — READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY
The uprated regulator is physically larger than the OEM unit. Be creative with mounting — sideways or under-tray mounting often works best to get airflow across the heatsink.
Connector orientation is critical: the plug must face down or towards the rear wheel (not up or forward).
- Do not have the plug facing the sky — standing water and rain will make ingress more likely.
- Do not face the connector forward towards the front tyre — spray from the road will hit the plug directly in wet UK weather.
We photographed and published several customer installs — check the product gallery and customer photos to visualise correct mounting and connector direction before you fit.
🔧 Install Tips & Care (Read Before Fitting)
- Plan your mount: measure clearances before you start — this unit is larger than stock and often needs a bracket or relocation plate.
- Connector faces down/rear: ensure the connector is pointing downwards or towards the rear wheel to avoid water ingress. Route the cable so it is protected from stones and tyre spray.
- Support the regulator: use rubber-lined clamps or a cushioned bracket to avoid vibration fatigue on the case and wiring.
- Seal electrical joins: where you need to extend or replace wiring, use waterproof butt connectors and heat-shrink, or liquid electrical tape for extra protection.
- Check polarity & plugs: our unit uses the OEM plug pattern and correct polarity, but double-check connections before powering up.
- Test before finalising: after fitting, start the bike and check DC voltage across the battery: ~13.5–14.5V at normal running revs is expected. If you see unstable or high readings, disconnect and check wiring immediately.
- Inspect after 50–100 miles: re-check mountings, connectors and wiring routing for movement or wear.
- Gallery reference: if you’re unsure how to orient the unit, look at the customer photos in the product gallery — these show several successful mounting examples and the correct connector orientation.
Need help? Visit our gallery and video links on the product page — many customers fitted these themselves and shared pictures/clips. If you still need advice, contact us and we’ll point you to the most relevant photos or suggest mounting ideas for your model.

Peter (verified owner) –
On this regulator bike working much better , no problem with idle.
Thanks Marcel !!!
shane (verified owner) –
Only brought this since I’ve heard the stock ones on the bike aren’t that reliable
Tom (verified owner) –
This part is a must i have the coils the caps and irridium plugs and will be getting the stator and the bike is totally diffrent it start straight up from cold And it really seems to have a kick up its arse now and for the price it really is worth the money
anthony harris (verified owner) –
Iv only ordered this as the old ones are rubbish
Martynas (verified owner) –
Works perfectly
Barry white (verified owner) –
Got my Regulator rectifier as promised on time today very fast and reliable service will be ordering again and a big shout out to Marcel who has helped talk me through it all will post pics on hyosung website thanks
Karl –
Very good piece of kit. Had to replace my whole electrics so this made sense to go with new stator that my old electrics fried.
Very quick delivery and superb service. Will definitely purchase more items from here. Much better stuff than stock
Jed (verified owner) –
Erratic idle fixed works great cheers!
Torbjorn Wold-Hansen –
This is an absolute must have for your Hyosung! Had it for around one year now, and it works great.
micky m (verified owner) –
received my upgraded regulator from marcel today for my gt250r fantastic quality ,great service highly recommended micky m blackheath
Martin –
Erratic idling completely sorted now I have replaced this. Excellent advice from Marcel as always, would recommend this to any GV125 riders
eman ellul –
Just upgraded to the uprated coils, the uprated regulator, the uprated stator and ngk caps with iridium spark plugs. I have to say it made an amazing difference, the bike almost no longer needs choke (less than a minute and only on first start in the morning), acceleration has improved significantly and my bike is now charging (which was my original problem :p). Very happy with all items 🙂
Bike is a 2003 gv250 carby model
Chad (verified owner) –
Arrived super fast. Plugged in my 125p started the engine, took it out for a ride, amazing indeed, instant noticeable improvement to start up, idle, throttle response 🤗 perfect.
Thanks.
Reiss (verified owner) –
Installed to my Hyosung GT125R, immediately noticed the dashboard lights are much brighter, the head lamp is brighter, it starts quicker and generally feels a lot smoother to ride. Cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you. 🙏
