I need to replace a diode on my MZ 660 Mastiff motorcycle but can only buy a complete wiring harness from my Dealer. The diode is described as a type 3A in the manual and is located between the Neutral wire (running from the neutral switch on the engine to a 2 Watt indicator bulb) and the side stand cut out switch wire, which prevents the bike being started if the side stand is down. I am assuming a 3A diode limits the amperage to 3 one way and blocks it the other. There seem sto be an awful lot of diodes of different types. Which ones would be suitable? Thanks

It should be at the back cover, just where the model number is. If you have the TV open, it may also be found inside, maybe on or around the tuner area.

I had the same problem. Ordered a PCB from Bissel it took 2 weeks to arive. I fitted it, then it blew again, turned out the brush motor was short circuiting. Ordered a new motor it took 10 weeks. I have now had to order the second circuit board.

Over 3 months to get this vac fixed - my advice is - don't buy Bissels!

Ron, what type of valve train does this bike have? If you are running shim buckets on the cams then you can figure .002" - .004" on the intake and .006" - .008" on the exhaust. Remember the valves will tighten over time which is most likely your problem, so I would adjust on the side of looser. When you check the valves check to see what they average for clearance and you may be able to determine if you need looser or tighter adjustments that what I suggested. You also want to make sure you adjust the cam chain, that makes a huge difference in low speed performance. I'm thinking you have some very tight valves right now though.

Yes, Zener diodes can work both on forward and reverse biasing. The primary difference between a zener diode and the ordinary junction diode is it is designed specifically to operate with a reverse bias voltage that is high enough to cause the the device to breakdown and conduct a high reverse current. Hope this answers your question and provides you with some help. If you need further assistance please let me know.

If you do not mind, would you please rate my help. I would very much appreciate it. Thanks
