  1. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 19 May 2008 21:48 WOW - I haven't been back for awhile - lloks like this thread has taken on a life of its own (over 11,000 views!) Thanks Tightwad for coming up with a plug and play harness...makes it easy for the masses. Glad to see…
  2. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 1 Mar 2008 02:54 DiscoStu pontiac_banshee Ok read through the forum and found my 91 is different. I have only 5 wires. Red - + ? Green - - ? Yellow -stator Yellow -stator Yellow -stator Is the same hold true to this? Any 90 - 92 VFR…
  3. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 6 Mar 2007 00:57 GREAT - I find that the stability is the best part of this. I always read about the voltage varying so much from one extreme to another...it just didn't make sense. A few tenths, ok but over a volt? No good. Thanks for…
  4. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 5 Mar 2007 23:10 THANKS - for putting that up...helps clarify things... I personally didin't do the ground jump to the main ground but, it sure can't hurt (never to much!) Good point on the fuses as well. SO, what were your end results?…
  5. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 3 Mar 2007 15:31 OK - went back in today and installed fuses in line on the new wire (thanks for catching that!) Just for fun, I started the bike and measured the voltage before putting the fuses in the new holder (basically, running…
  6. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 28 Feb 2007 20:52 Sorry...I have a good knowledge of electrical and always take it for granted everyone does...my mistake. I don't always play things safe on my own stuff... When I did this, it was basically for myself - after seeing the…
  7. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 28 Feb 2007 17:43 I understand what your saying at it is a very good point... Since you have the diagram at hand, what does the OEM 30amp actually interrupt that is not protected @ the fuse panel? Just curious. If it is just the charge…
  8. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 28 Feb 2007 16:58 It does by pass the fuse...you could add one...but I would put one in each wire individually. IF there is a short that could cause a problem, it would have to be in that 8" piece of wire. Highly unlikely really. If it's…
  9. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 19:51 NVR2L8 I'm not electrician by trade, but back in the day when I was a electronic technician, I do remember that "given a constant voltage and current load over a specific length of wire of a specific gauge", then there…
  10. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 19:45 Misspent Youth To clarify for me, you left the OEM arrangement for the R/R to the stock harness and just added wires to it? You didn't cut the R/R/harness connector out and direct-wire the R/R charge wires into the main…
  11. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 17:47 Chev Hmm, I bet this applies to all the generations. I'll be doing this soon enough. Thanks. :thumbsup: Actually - this applies to any thing.... I go over the wiring on every thing I own... I have yet to find something…
  12. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 17:45 WOW – I didn’t expect this kind of response but, I’m glad to help…. MR PHEER – I know you from the VTXOA board (zam70 there too) you and your praise of the VFR, is one of the reasons I started to look…
  13. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 15:52 gll429 you forgot to add some heat transfer compound to the back of the r/r and a computer fan on the front . NOPE - did that too...(you can buy it @ Radio Shack) I also (to aid cooling) drilled 4 holes right in front…
  14. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 27 Feb 2007 03:50 A short history: I spent 15 years of my life designing and building high aperage electrical systems for automotive applications. I learned that in order for a charging system to work properly, things have to be solid,…
