  1. Did they fail with results similar to mine? Or what fassion did they fail? R was good static, E was in spec running, the I under load was the prob. Ignore the hot oil discoloration - anectdotal.

    That's the scheme I wish the current livery would have followed a little more closely. Thats a handsome , very masculine look. A bud of mine had one. I was riding a KZ 650 at the time , I could barely make it turn, but what a joy to pin the throttle on. The side view really shows how the weight distribution has moved forward over the years.
  3. Good job. SLO - Rugby Mecca too. any players among you ?

  5. Now you need to go squid - get some Ti "curb alarm"strips attached and toss some sparks ! It would sure shake off anyone on your wheel.
  6. I sure appreciate you boy's situation. I've got the shirt and box of NFG Honda electrics as well . I've had 2 stators fail and a "few " RR's . The typical mods (fans, conductive paste , and improved wiring )improve things but it leaves a definite mental scar. My stators were fine static but failed under load. I had a damn RR that I could NEVER get to fail within 40 miles from home - just get the other side of Rockspring though .... More then once nearly leaving the pavement staring at a stupid meter. Even today if I glance down at my ODO and I don't see a tenth click off in a couple of seconds the paranoia skyrockets ( as we know the odo is the first instrument to no go as the V decays.) I recently did a roadtrip without a spare RR - felt like a hit man w/o his piece. I've come close to selling this great bike a couple of times over this - I was brought up on Yamahas. I am giving no usable input here - I'm sorry for that. But on a positive the last time I went through the "Triad of Ballbreak" disfunction was on my way to the Gap. The Tenn Trooper helped me get to the right place, and Mark (last name ?? ) owner of Cooksville Honda and his crew went out of their way to get me rolling ASAP and at a VERY fair price. I wasn't worried - worst case scenario would have been me smashing the bike to a pulp and throwing the VISA down on a spiffy RC51 - I was going to the gap by damn ! I just hope Soichiro H ( the exalted one ) kicked that no good number ten son in law in the electric division around the shop a few times before going to that big dyno in the sky. non illigetimi carborundum, mates
  7. If those bikes are yours , you are a VFR God. Would God please back off on the chain adj. on the #5 race bike ? If they are not yours, at least you have met God and lived to tell about it ! ps : If you get an auto generated report from moderator it is bogus ! I could not control my 1) lust 2) envy 3) covetiousness help me O Mighty VFRDiety for I am but a weak sinner ! mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa
