  1. Triumph Bonneville T100 regulator/ rectifier 12 Aug 2017 22:10 I posted "Moving the R/R to the front" in 2010 and the RR is still working fine. If you search you should find it.
  2. NEED HELP - Loud Engine Knock/Tick 30 Nov 2016 19:56 It doesn't sound good. I have a cheap plastic "stethoscope" I bought which I use by touching various parts of the motor to try to identify where the sound is greatest, and it usually works. You can probably make a…
  3. Weird idle on my '90 (video) 15 Jul 2016 00:05 Backfiring is normally indicative of running lean.
  4. Weird idle on my '90 (video) 13 Jul 2016 21:44 Because it affects all cylinders it makes me think it's a fuel problem. This is supported by the fact that it apparently runs okay when the choke is on.
  5. Bike idles fine when brake applied issue 12 Jun 2016 03:12 Like you I'm struggling to understand this. But it seems to me that you at the least have an electrical problem. Does the front brake work the brake light, and if so, is the wire which supplies power to the front brake…

  8. A Question For The Electrical Guru's 3 Aug 2014 09:52 I think what you are trying to do is measure the current flowing from the alternator to the battery. I also can't see from their diagram where their leads connect. However the method is to remove the fuse - as this…
  9. Thermal grease will do no good for a rectifier 12 Sep 2010 04:54 I have a Gen 3 and explained here http://www.vfrdiscus...__1#entry716234 how I moved my R/R to the front between the forks, just below the oil radiator. For your information, the R/R now runs "cold" at open road speeds.…
  10. I know what happened, but why? 5 Sep 2010 03:41 I suggest reading up on the Regulator/Rectifier. Melted contacts at the starter relay one of the symptoms of a faulty R/R. The cause is most likely also due to poor contact at this point as already suggested. However if…
