Bike is a 5th gen....

The 3 wires on the R/R go to the stator, the 2 wires go to the battery... Use a HD fusebox and 30A fuse to the positive terminal on the battery. Circuit looks like....

No problem.... Anytime!

Took a photo.. keep in mind its with calibrated eyeball tolerance -- probably +/- 1.0mm

That's nutz.....It may be the same bike I helped MarriedMan do an update on the charging system. That's got to be 10+ years ago.... If it has a R/R mount plate with a FH020... its the one. Supposidly he sold it to a guy in Florida, but it could be you, Sweeper... Very cool!

May as well add... ProBolt as a source... excellent supplier... You could get aluminum bolts for the fairings... or titanium .... SS too... https://www.probolt-usa.com/ Cool thread!

Dunno if I would call that good news.... generally the volts should be pushing 13.8 + 13.4 is marginal.... I am assuming that is with the OEM R/R? The typical long term behavior on these is over time the voltage will fade lower.... and then your stranded. Very highly recommend adding a volt meter up front to watch the trend.... I did one using the tank mount. If that was mine with the OEM R/R I would still change it out...Upgrade it to FH027aa or SH847... wire direct to the battery like... (There's hundreds of examples on this forum of the OEM R/R death) You are quite the tech and I assume you know all the charging tests to do on the stator too..... Best wishes... MD

Been using a LiFePo4 battery for better than 10 years, nothings caught fire....also using a similar connector as JZH...makes it nice, on and off in seconds. Re: different R/Rs for different battery technologies....I think its an excuse for certain vendors to market a "special" for a premium cost....

Its a long drawn out thread... but here is my saga of changing out the hoses... and "while your in there's" You may as well do the thermostat and O-rings too... https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/114089-another-thermostathose-throttle-body-job-minor-refresh-brakes-rebuild-wheels-powder-coat/ Possibly another thread that may be usefull https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/114395-5th-gen-maintenance-6th-gen-and-other-parts-that-work-on-5th-gens/ btw-- that OEM R/R is typically a ticking time bomb to eat itself...

Looking forward to all your posts..Everything you ever want to know about the 5th gen is here... If you decide to change hoses, there is a AS3 Silicone hose set for that, I recently did a thread on changing them out. https://www.as3performance.com/products/honda-vfr-800-fi-1998-2001-high-performance-silicone-radiator-hoses-red Again welcome to the forum, it's a great group... BTW, looks awesome 👌

Hi mello dude, Thank you for your donation of 100.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion

Also another tip.... mark each cable end with paint pen so you arent head scratcing on reassembly on which cable goes on top and bottom....

Dayton guy here....

Removing the throttle cable adjustment bracket makes getting the cables off much simpler. Unfortunately, yes, the little screws need to come off. Do you have a JIS screwdriver set? And maybe a hand impact wrench?

Welcome dude!
