    What is the different between Regulator

    Ive had countless issues with the charging system, You will see a great improvement if you wire the red charging wire direct to the battery. I too made the switch to the finned R&R, for some reason it fried in less than a year (could have been a weak battery ), I had a NEW old style that I put...

    Charging issue Again !

    Nah..no melt ( this time), About a year ago I replaced the stator and the R&R, with all new stuff. At that time the plug had melted,two segments were fried on the stator. Update ...... I went out this morning and straight wired the charging wire to the battery, now it holds steady voltage...

    Little slip on

    I thought i would have got a little more feedback about this little guy. I guess I will just buy one and give it a shot..hell, how loud can it be ? I suppose i could run a open header a minute to see if she will run OK before I buy, I dont want to screw up a good running tune.

    Flooding one cyclinder

    I already had tried the new spark plug, I know its firing as it should, 2.35 to 2.92 is a pretty close tolerance....and the aftermarket is kinda vague. I will drain the bowl, flush it ...and see what happens. ( Hopefully tomorrow )

    Flooding one cyclinder

    One last problem on this bike....after riding about 15 miles, One cylinder was acting up, I stop at my daughters to address the issue and found the front left cylinder was flooded with fuel...I assume the float is stuck , you could smell gas in the exhaust and even white mist/smoke. I made it...
