Re: Age old VR problems

Sorry to hear about the accident, Tomcat! Could have been worse though, consider yourself lucky. Good thing winter's coming to do any bike upgrades you've been mulling over ;).

Re: Age old VR problems

Hi everyone, I'm new here from Maine, USA. I've got a '94 600 streetfighter, and a few weeks ago I had my old candy-bar style voltage regulator burn out on me, so I ordered the newer style with the heat sinks and 6 pins (not 5). I've wired it up with the three phase wires along the bottom pin, the t...
