What's up guys, Im new to the VFR game just picked up a 98 800, I am sure tbhis has been covered a million times over. But my bike wont charge, I tested continuity in the stator and that seems to be working and also the rectifier regulator. The guy I bought it from was in there monkeying around and said he replaced 2 of 3 coils in the stator and put in a new rectifier regulator, I can tell he has been in there because he deleted all the clipa and hardwired everything together. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to where to buy a stator & RR combo deal so I can undo this guys cobb job and start fresh. Basically looking for proper parts on a legitimate market so I dont get ripped off, who do I need to contact? also can anyone give me insight on the impulse generator?
Roadstercycle.com He’s the man that you need to talk to if he installed a cheap RR. Called Honda and stators aren’t cheap if you can even find one to fit, upgrade I suppose People have there’s rewound Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
testing continuity of stator coils isn't the best test; instead, test AC voltage output (with engine running) across all 3 combinations of yellow wires. you should have about 8-10 volts at idle and about 55-65 at 5000 rpm.
You are probably number 2794 on the screwed up 5th gen charging system. Sounds like the previous owner just went cheap and bandaided it together for sale. For R/R parts.... as duccman point out --- definitely --- www.roadstercycle.com --- The FH020aa is closest to stock size and will fit easy. The SH847 is much larger, and will be a challenge to mount, but its been done. Stator - Seems that OEM is no longer available... but --looks like ProCaliber is selling one... I would call first to verify... -- It could be on back order.. forever.. https://www.procaliber.com/oem-parts?aribrand=HOM&arian=MOTORCYCLE#/Honda_Powersports/VFR800FIA_(99)_INTERCEPTOR,_JPN,_VIN#_JH2RC460-XM100001/ALTERNATOR/15f922e6-6adf-4b94-b64d-cb9c2c286344/a55817ce-f606-49ae-bae3-15feda93b909/y Another alternate is for a rewind job... Custom Rewind. Unfortunately, the owner has MS. Gary (I believe) goes by phone call, and you need to be patient to talk with him, I heard his speech is labored. I have heard on the forums he does an excellent job. https://www.google.com/search?ei=Qn...&ved=0ahUKEwiJ--35gY3sAhVqUt8KHRYwBAkQ4dUDCA0 If you go the rewind route, ask for extra long leads on the stator output wires, maybe plus 30 inches. This way you can add the R/R connectors direct to the stator without an intermediate connection, solder or other wise. For 5th gen, it will look like.... The R/R is the FH020AA And... the usual post on charging system testing... "The Drill" --- Post #9 - do it. https://vfrworld.com/threads/how-to-fix-common-regulator-stator-failures.39277/ And... before Squirrelman jumps in, check your starter relay wires that are in front of the battery, those tend to be melty too...maybe need a fix... That's enuff to keep you hopping for awhile....
