FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

after almost a month of not having my bike in riding condition (stupid voltage regulator) I finally got her back! I brought my dad's down to school with me and yesterday he and I met in Hillsboro and swapped. It's wonderful being back on my own bike again!

Ride on!

i'm jealous. have fun riding

Nice, seems like the voltage regulators are an issue on the 600s

does anyone know if an 02gsxr750 vr will work on the 600 i have an extra the plug looks like it will fit i do have the newer vr. so its been a mystrey to me.

Congrats man.

I keep a spare voltage regulator on hand

I've noticed that almost all of VRs on newer bikes (I've been looking since I replaced the VR on my fizz) seems to be almost identical. I don't want to imply anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of the newer japanese bikes on the road are using [virtually] identical VRs.

It has also been suggested on the fizzer listserv that the stock VRs are perfectly ok and most of the failures we see are probably related to corroded electrical connections.

hmm...anyone ever try poping open their stock fried vr?

I still have mine (I don't have the fzr anymore, but i've got the burnt out VR). I think the corrosion comment was in regards to wiring.

Oh ok...If I find mine, I might open it up anyway...kinda curious as to whats inside

Some solid state components and a coil or two. Not much to see there. It's pretty hard to get that black rubber crap out and a lot of it will still be stuck to the innards. I cut mine up so I could use the connector and not have to alter the stock wire harness.

Yeah, you probably already let out the magic smoke.

Alright thanks for saving me valuable time. I'll find better ways to waste it.

I stabbed myself in the hand pretty good with a screwdriver in the process too. Definitely not worth the hassle just to see what's inside.
