No problem. I do what I can to make up for the times that I just confuse the issue (as in I'm completely wrong!). :biggrin:
If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, if the part number begins with an "S", it is an SCR style R/R. MOSFET R/Rs begin with an "F". A...
No, it wasn't a dumb question. Personally, I think the most significant thing one can ever do is to ask. One of the places I occasionally work for...
^^ +1 to both Crusty and Davis. The other practical downside to turbocharging a V4 is placing the components; an inline four is considerably...
I had an '07 and really liked it (still miss it). The VFR in my future will either be a 4th gen (94-97) or the 5th gen in yellow (2000). I would...
^ I came back to edit my last post because I didn't think it was clear enough, but camo took care of it for the most part. If the battery is...
When you say that it "drains the battery", I'm not sure what you mean. If the charging system and battery continue to keep the bike running, then...
A piece of semi-flexible wire (like a coathanger) with a small ball of duct tape (sticky side out, of course) attached to the end might work.
A couple of things; will the bike continue to run after 15 miles, or will it not start back up after 15 miles? If it continues to run, the problem...
^ This (invisible cities). They really are handy, and very accurate. I generally just make sure the idle speed is close to what it should be, and...
I no longer have my 6th gen shop manual, but I would suspect one of the F/I sensors. A chain would have to pretty tight to influence MPG that...
It's funny. I had to sell the VFR back in September to pay my *^^%^$%^ property taxes, of all things. Long story full of cash flowing in the wrong...
Another celebrity in the making... Will you and Reg remember us all when you're famous (and hopefully rich)? :smile: I don't even try to watch...
^ All of the above. If you don't mind doing a little bit of wrenching yourself, check and clean the battery cable connections on both ends, too. A...
Pretty much my outlook, too. I do like the copper and polished aluminum combo in your bottom picture. Some years ago, I went to a bicycle store...
I feel like such an idiot when I try to use "search"... takes me forever! Anyway;...
That explains it. I thought my questionable ability to use Google effectively was worse than normal. :smile: Glad you're happy with the R/R. If I...
The only Electrex I could find that has bike parts is in the UK. Where are you located?
I'd say the price is right about in the ballpark for other 5th gens listed (~3200-4000 in California), but it is a tough time to sell. Actually,...
They are pieces of wood, carved to look like rubber and painted black... I read your blog, bud, we're not that far apart in age! :biggrin:
