Wellllll, it lasted almost 7 months... Took 15 minutes to install the backup unit in the parking lot at midnite. I ordered another backup.
Glad to hear you're OK 333 (Is that half of 666?). My gear was close to $1,000 to replace, but it did its job, I'm still pretty! Ha! I'm gonna...
Wish they'd paid the $2.00 for a good one...
Well it's been 5 months without a problem, albeit it spent two of those months parked while I was healing up from a crash. So far so good...
Hit a pothole @ 30mph. I felt the wheel break to the right and stupidly hit the front brake. The bike nose dived and threw me into the pavement....
Just checked mine and it was loose. Put a little locktite on it & snugged her up. Checked every other bolt I could find and all were tight....
Been lucky here in San Diego. Found a shop that goes the extra mile... Went in for a tire change & the guy noticed the screws on the brake &...
I'm testing out the eBay chinese R/R. Been two weeks w/o a prob. For $13 it at least makes a nice spare....
Been over two weeks w/o problems. Checked output and all is good. My spare arrived and hid under the seat.
The 4th gen are different from the 3rd. I've been looking on eBay for two years and they seem to be in short supply. The reference Insider gave...
All done. Bolted the R/R to a pretty hefty heat sink and added a new ground wire from it to the frame. Cleaned the contacts. You're right...
Sounds like you got screwed over pretty good Billy. Posters here can't possibly know how much this forum helps everyone that rides VFRs....
13.1 at idle and 14.45 at 3,000. That's about perfect. Plan to drive this thing to failure, checking the output weekly. When my new one comes...
If looks mean anything, it looks well made. The socket fits snugly. I'm going out in a few minutes with my meter & check the output. Not...
This is a continuation of hooking my portable jumper up backwards. I thought I got off cheap when I only had to replace the 30amp main fuse to...
Best Forum on the net, this is. Yoda
Clymers states that there is a fusable link inline with the positive battery cable. I couldn't find it (duh). The connector doesn't look much...
I had a Denver clamp and a Heavy cable on my Aprilia scooter. They cut the cable and weakened the clamp arm with bolt cutters. I got the scoot...
It blew when I hooked up a portable jumper backwards on the dead battery for 30+ seconds (+ to- and - to +) and hit the starter. Why that would...
Victory! It was the 30 amp fuse. Took a bit of monkey fisting to get the top off the solenoid, but there it was. Thank you all for your input....
