    Hey all, new here.

    My bike, a 1996 VFR750, randomly died yesterday whilst I was riding on the highway right after the speedo went to zero, despite the fact i was moving.

    First tested the battery voltage, it's a new battery less than 2 months old, but it's sitting at 12,2v. So not dead, but not charging either.

    Then I figured it might be the R/R, so pulled off the panels, unplugged it and the connector to the R/R looks like this:

    What am I in for here? Will changing this bad connector fix my problems? Or is this caused by a bad R/R or Stator? I haven't tested the resistance of the stator yet.

    Also, prior to this, the idle was getting jumpier than usual & the bike wasn't starting up as easy - I know I should have checked the battery at this point, but I got lazy/forgot about it :cigar:

    Also, the R/R is not an original one - seems like the previous owner replaced it. There's no part number on it, but it look exactly like this:

    Has same problem, bike VFR 1992 just suddenly died on me while riding. No charging.

    Long story short, had a connection problem, looks like yours but in much worse shape. Behind fairing on right hand side under tank.

    Cut the cables and solded it. Worked fine ever since. Now I have other problems with that bike but not connected to this.
