Ive run that pocket plugger on several tires to the cords. Its always the rear - whats up with that? Um- so you are throwing out the old Roadsmart?
A bit confused - so which R/R did you buy? -- Just curious..:biggrin:
OEM Honda R/Rs do run hot - 200 degrees was my guess by the finger burn test, doesnt mean its good ----- but 15+ volts at 5K is on the high side....

I would take a few photos of your install and shoot them to the Roadstercycle, even get on the phone with the guy.......
^^^ I helped install a Roadstercycle kit on a neighbors Suzuki and it went fine. Good product.
New Grips?
2 cents worth - IMHO ---- I think the R/R is aftermarket, but cant identify it. - There is a R/R check with a meter, it might be worth it to run...
Just info ------- tighwad at wiremybike has a custom HID kit for the 6th gen. I think he has the 5th gen kit ready to go too.
I think batterys are kinda like - whats the best oil and whats the best beer? AGM is the latest tech, and probly the way to go. If you are...
