And the most important addendum: If you anticipate Murphey's Law, it no longer applies.
You're right CandyRed, the R/R didn't prove to be reliable. To it's credit, it produced a steadily 14.2VDC @ 2,000+ RPM throughout it's short...
Well... It lasted 2 years and 8 days. Driving along at 40mph and I smelled burnt insulation. Looked behind me and I looked like a Blue Angel...
Getting close to two years now & output is still solid. Thinking the massive heat sink I put on it originally makes the difference. That and...
Kinda figured they'd be too low output, looked too good to be true. I figured the cause of incandescent bulb failures was due to vibration and...
The ones I ordered are only 1800 lumen each. May not be bright enough. We'll see...
Darn right Norm! I call it Kenwood's Addendum. Murphy's Law states. "If something can go wrong it will." Kenwood's Addendum adds, :...at the...
In the six years I've had my '97 VFR, I've gone thru 10+ headlight bulbs. I've tried OEM's, Sylvanias, and even off-road heavy duty replacements...
A year and a half and no problems. Still carrying a spare under the seat tho...
They are M6's
What a freakin' nightmare! Was going to suggest checking the spark color @ the plugs, or syncing the carbs, but you're way waaaaay past that.
On my Nighthawk 750 my misfire was the same...engine warms up and there it was. Turned out to be one of the plug wires.
Richierex, do you know what the thread size is on the two large bolts? It's either an M6 or an M8.
Yep Normk, the socket had shorted out and arced under the fuse. That's where all the heat came from. The old solenoid was indeed fine, I put 12V...
Just thinking that if the short occurred at the fuse, it would have blown the fuse. If the short occurred ahead of the fuse it wouldn't have...
When I get the new solenoid I'll pop it in. In the meantime I'll go ahead and solder the connectors while I have it out. Whatever caused it...
My mistake. Looks like they won't fit the 4th gens. At $7/pair though, maybe I'll order a set and play with them a bit.
I going to order a set of these. Looks like they screw into the side fairing upper screw. Not the strongest looking things, but if they last a...
At 1st I thought the fuse malfunctioned, but it wasn't blown. The heat had to come from the solenoid. It ran fine until I parked it. It sat...
Never seen this before. Rode the bike home, the next morning it was a paperweight. No electrics, nothing. Checked the fuses, battery and the...
