I had a ZRX, it was decent all around bike. I traded the ZRX for a 2003 Z1000. The Z1000 handled much better than the ZRX and had gobs of powers.

Seems odd though. I have had small static like shocks arcing across to my legs while riding. I have completely gone through the wiring harness and haven't found anywhere were electricity could be arcing to the frame. Wondering if this oil in the wires is enough to cause a short that would...

I cut the three white wires coming from the stator to the voltage R/r. The original connection that is approximately straight down from the seat was cracking and crumbling. I cut the wires there so I could replace the connection, and wire in the connectors that would fit a MOSFET R/r.

I was in the process of replacing my voltage regulator. I cut the three wires from the stator and left them hanging for a couple of days while parts arrived. In those couple of days a puddle of oil formed under the wires. Oil was wicking through the wires from the stator. This probably...

I love those SV, had a opportunity to buy a dealer leftover, that had sat on the showroom for a couple years. Waited to long and some body else snagged it. I ended up buying a Buell instead.

If anybody is thinking about using these, I would advise against it. They might work in a stock bike, they do not work well with COPs, and if you have the Ignitech TCI these plugs will leave you stranded the first time you stop. I switched back to NGK's and everything seems normal. The...

No I got the stock headlight. This one has me stumped. I'm leaving on a deployment soon, that will give me six months to think about it. Might not hurt to let this one marinate for a while.

Update to this, the magnet field is no longer present. The small static shocks are still present. I removed the entire wiring harness and went through every inch of wire. All of it looked good. Borrowed the Coil on Plugs of my neighbors gsxr and ran them, no change. Put a 6 gauge...

I'm going to check the stator wires and make sure I didn't ground it. I'm trying to keep things simple but the mind starts to wander when things become frustrating. Also I appreciate the help "offers". Weeks and months wouldn't be necessary, you get your fill of Oahu in about a week. It...

I have grounded the r/r to the frame and there isn't a change. The COP's might be possible, I don't feel a shock when idling, the RPM's are usually around 5000 before I start feeling anything. I will check them tonight.

Recently I added COP's and a MOSFET r/r to my bike. The problem didn't start until the MOSFET was wired in. The bike runs fine and charges fine, but after about a quarter of a mile I start feeling sparks arcing across to my leg, nothing major feels like static. Also screwdrivers can stick to...
