Re: R1. 2004/5 Reg rectifier

Just bought myself an R/R from a 2008 R6 (SH678).
The unit was intended for six wires, not the 5 of the Firestorm. Can I still use it or did I screw up?
If I can use it, which terminal do I leave empty?

FONT SIZE

:problem: Not sure if this the right part of the forum, but how do I set my font size to stay as I want it? I like it large but it keeps going to the small font. :?:

Re: CCT Advice

The failure is due to two factors, relying on a spring which can (and does) rust through, and designing an engine so that when the cct fails there's enough slack to allow the chain to climb over cam sprocket teeth. Honda haven't tackled either of these two faults in the newer CCT's. Nice explanatio...

Best Brake Pads?

Quite new to the VTR, loving it so far but find the brakes on my bike are not bad, but not brilliant. Thinking of changing pads over the winter months and wondered what was the general feeling on this forum..........OE Honda, EBC, Ferodo etc??
Opinions appreciated.

I think we are all at that age now where we get more fun out of owning bikes we wanted when we were younger that we get from owning the latest hot sh1t race rep....and it costs less...result :thumbup:
