mello dude

Dude.... Step back first and confirm your battery is good. 

Then there 3 checks for the stator.... on the connector...stator side.... not R/R

- Do A to B, B to C, C to A.... engine off. pin to pin on resistance.. should be less than 1.0 ohms

- Next A to ground, B to ground, C to ground... should be infinity, no connectivity, nada... again engine off.

- Then as my friend Grum pointed out, A to B, B to C, C to A. engine running, AC volts on the stator pin side, 20ish on idle, 50ish + at 5000rpm

With system connected and checking at the battery, engine running,.... roughly 13.0 at idle.... 13.8 to 14.3ish at 5000 rpm... healthy system. 

Are you running an OEM R/R?

I dont remember who on this forum was, but replaced with 6th gen gear... I'm sure he will chime in... 

btw - your multimeter was set to AC volts when you tested i? (yes?) 

Jeez, today is it.....this place has been part of my motorcycle life since 2006......

Anyone wanting to contact me,  check VFRW or my email dynalon@roadrunner.com

For contact purposes, hate to say,  but join VFRW for now....

I'm not giving up on checking with Miguel about a move...mbe a FB contact....

I'm sure several people here have PM'd Miguel about picking the forum up...but don't know what his thoughts are on that....

Anyone have direct contact with him and can mention it?

Miguel....when d-day sir?

Oh noooo.... but I get it... kinda panicking..... I get on here  3 or 4 times a day... 

Mbe you peeps dare I say jump over to VFRW?

And.......... I make no apologies for repeating myself and advising to keep well away from Auto Reset Circuit Breakers for the main 12v output from the R/R to the battery positive.

 

As always YMMV.

Yes!! - Never cared for what our favorite R/R vendor sells.... 

I usually say go with the metripack 630 fuse assembly... such as .. -- middle of the page...

Looks like DelCity has some nice options too... rated 40amp... havent used one yet, but its on my try it list... (10ga)

Some good example wire and connector burn up photos.... 

- If you have to splice in wire, dont use anything from the local auto parts store... I use marine grade wire for the fixes.... (if its good for a boat, its definately good for a motorcycle.... 

https://www.delcity.net/store/Marine-Grade-Tinned-Wire/p_365

- I am not going down the road of solder vs linemans splice.... I've done both..  YRMV

- IF a connector is a gotta have, go with a Metripack 630 connector, ditch the OEM style...

Ultimately, part of the success is a good workmanlike craftmanship on the installation.

I've seen photos of the good parts/equipment to use, but the shitty work doomed the install and was another toasted mess... 

As a btw... a good crimp tool for connectors is a must.. 

On the hose clamps, I didnt want to pay $52 for a set..... nutz nutz. 

But based from this guy, John Reynolds (phenom gearhead guy), I'll be using Norma clamps... (checkout his car builds...wow)

Oh Yeah..... Project Farm too... 

Bag of goodies showed up on my doorstep today.

----- What do you think @bmart ..??

I have a voltage meter installed, so I will be keeping an eye on it.

 

Do you have any links to stories of burnt crimp connectors/odd voltages?

I would be very interested in reading up on that.

@vfrcapn has good photo of crimp connectors good and crispy...

---- 1st choice is going to a solder connection. But if a connector is a gotta have, a Metripack 630 is the one to have. Its designed for high current applications. 

http://www.cycleterminal.com/metri-pack.html

Same for the fused to pos battery side connection......

http://www.cycleterminal.com/fuse-boxes.html

Odd voltages... Cogswell posted on that one, commenting with another member with the same situation. (Cant remember the name) 

@toreckman -- Suggest adding a digital voltmeter up front to watch the behavior of the SH847. A couple members reported some odd voltages at idle and wouldnt recover with revs. 

Also, keep an eye on the crimp connectors. Have seen some burnt over time... 

Nice write up..... 

New batch of plates are in, sample parts in photo.. .. typically I need to deburr and some hand finish to get ready... 

I can take orders now. Plz PM for info and ordering. 

Thxz

Update...laser shop has me scheduled for mid next week for next batch....

Ok gang, Enough guys have asked..... time to make a new batch.... 

Who's in?

If the stator dies, will it take the RR/battery with it? That seems to be the case if the RR dies but I can't find anything about the stator dying and causing issues. I ask because I put the SH847 in place yesterday (but ran out of time to pull the old one out completely and mount the 847)

 

Hi - I have a bunch of these R/R mount plates for 6gen left over.... PM if interested. 

https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/95120-6th-gen-rr-mounts-for-fh020aa-and-sh847/

I had wondered what happened to your museum piece 4th gen you got last year, beautiful bike.......

......I miss mine.....

^^^^ Still like the creativity of the above, I'm gonna try that next time I need the front end in the air.... 

Looking good !

How much did Jet-Hot quote him to do it? I had them coat a header for me before and thought the price wasn't bad?

Just hearsay from my neighbor, but $450....... ?

Looking for suggestions for the ceramic header coating...other than by Jet-Hot($!)....for my Suzuki neighbor guy..

I did a search but no luck....whadya know?

Anybody do the fast idle lever mod conversion on a wax unit bike? I find the lever very useful in a lot of situations....on and off the bike....

Just a curiosity....

Darryl nice work! For curiosity.....

So you're running 6th gen injectors with 6th ECU?

Any more 5th gen stuff?

btw...Ducati looks great

Great write up Darryl. Do you now own a 5.5th gen?  😎

 

Glad you survived the track day crash, hope to read a ride review of your "5.5" soon.

Wouldn't that be a 6.5th?

For folks who have bought from Jack, did you ge the universal 2 way or 4 way mounting bracket for the 5th gen? Thanks!

On the FH020aa R/R, it mounts easy by drilling 2 holes, it's the OEM size.  The 847 for 5th gen takes a bit of creativity to mount it. It's physically larger than stock.

(6th gen, I have mount kits for that.)

>Ok gang.....Should I develop a 5th gen mount for the 847?
