Tip for you if you smell eggs like a Catalytic converter type smell this is the RR cooking the battcybercarl wrote:This can be an issue with any older non MOSFET type R/R. Still better than the original non finned Honda Sh1te though. They can cope with a larger output so not put under so much stress on the VTR and also have a larger body/finned area so cooling is better. I've been running a older R1 R/R now for over 2 years including through Winters with no issues. It basically comes down to the luck of the draw.not always unless you got the correct one, my mates R1 nearly burst into flames last week due to the RR overcharging the batt, the batt blew out there was smoke and acid everywhere
(:-})
We wondered what the hell that smell was for about 6 miles before i took a wrong turn looked back to alert my mate and saw smoke billowing out the rear end
First smelt it outside a pub when i stopped to go for a piddle, figured they must have been having a BBQ out back or somthing
