VFR80025th Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I Have 2007 RWB with about 14,000 miles. I bought her last year. I have checked my battery Voltage and checked V when starting at idle and reving 5000 rpm. It all checks out to spec. Bike starts instantly all the time. Now I know the 6th gens are improved but is the RR going to go no matter what. Is there anyone out there that the VFR RR has not failed. 2002-2009s , Anyone? Just wondering out loud.

Member Contributer Knute Posted February 24, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm at 83k on my '04's original RR, still seems to be performing just fine, knock on wood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted February 24, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2018 My 2004, 2007 and 2009 never had an R/R fail. But I did have a stator fail on the 2004. Also a close friend had only the stator fail on his 2009. So why change your R/R? Think you should be asking who has not had a Stator fail would be more to the point? From memory R/R failures were problematic on pre 2000 VFR's, after that the R/R was upgraded. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dgordon Posted February 25, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 25, 2018 On my 01 it was going after about 25K miles. On my 07, at 12K miles no issues so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspanglish Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 So the 6th gen is more known for stator barbeques. It's the 5th gen that tends to fry R/Rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 5th gen that tends to fry R/Rs And stators. My only failure, a 2001, went somewhere between 70,000 and 80,000. I don't know which went first. But stator was burnt bad. VFRness on all four fifths subsequently. I know of two low-mileage to mid-mileage 6th gens with no problems yet: MotorMike and Pair-Of-Aces.

Member Contributer mello dude Posted March 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2018 I fixed marriedman's 2007 - 6th gen stator that borked itself at about 14K... Seems like there's a run of bad stators for 6th gens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Lorne Posted March 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2018 My '09 VTec (n.o.s. June '11) is still on it's oe rec/reg after ~6 years and 69,000 km. However, the stator failed at 4 years and 50,000 km. This in the middle of a trip, 2,000 km from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was likewise far from home. I was out over $1,000 for the incedent. But it could have been worse; in the middle of nowhere. This was in Duluth MN. I was headed a couple of hundred miles up the North Shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
