    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sigh....
A volt meter was SO on my list of things to get for my bike.... Stator failure beat me to it.

My latest one threw me for a curve in regards to r/r's. The volmeter says she was charging fine but the bike broke up over 6500 rpms. Did the coil relay mod and it seemed to make the problem worse.

What I discovered was that the r/r unit was commanding full on, full off in fractions of a second so anytime I brought my good meter near the bike it went nuts. The whole bike became one big RFI mess. This was not detected by a lesser Sears meter that had I first thrown on the bike to double check that it was charging. I told myself that I better use the good meter, not a fluke but a better DVOM, and double check my findings and viola, there it was. I disconnected the r/r and the bike was fine afterwards, nice and stable w/out a magnetic forcefield around it.

I have a Duane Honda r/r being sent out.

Thanks for following up with your findings btw. Perm mag r/r's definitely require a lot of surface fins to allow for proper cooling to take place and at 113F, it's hard to transfer heat. I had shy'd away from Ricks after seeing that it wasn't any bigger than my factory unit.
 
I'm going to replace my R/R when I replace my stator even though it tests good, it's of unknown origin and quality. My plan was to do as some have sugested and use one off a late model GSXR. Any thoughts on those?
