Wouldnt normally ask but just been messing with my storm after its been off the road for a while. Put on a new battery and checked the voltage 15.8volts

Followed the guide on here and narrowed it down to the dreaded reg/rec. Has anyone got one in the Manchester area that i could prize out of there hands??????

I am suppose to be doing a charity run on Sunday and its looking grim at the mo if i dont get this sorted. Will be looking at doing the r6 mod but just strapped for cash at the mo.

Please help.

Sorry Steve, can't help you with this one

I'm sure someone will come to the rescue

ive got one off a cbx you can have bud.
probably a different connector and its like a triangle shape, but it will get u out ot sh1t lol.
you might have to cut the plug off it and put some spades on or sumat.

if no-one has a vtr r/r it's there if u want it.

Hey Steve, I Have the one of the honda r/rec serial no sh633-12 t9.9,it was working when i exchanged it for an r1/r6 type i bought off timbo. I,m out today but home after 5pm.I live in Eccleston nr Chorley ,if this helps give us a pm or bung it on here...I'll check later
Regards ChrisC

Sorted now thanks for the offers guys

Ended up going to the the main stealers and giving the credit card a bashing £72 later and its fixed charging nicely at 14.5 volts.

Got two in the rev shed but I'am too far away, sorry

May sound dumb, but then thats me, sorry. Reg/Rec off of an R1/R6 - R1/R6 what? Yamaha?

And how do you know if they have 'gone'

(apologies for being stoopid)

yep, just fitted R1 Yamaha reg/rec 's to both my Storms. Bought off Flea Bay £20 each

yam are more reliable than the honda disposable item.
search it here, theres a nice thread on it

if the r/r is fkt, you will either notice the battery draining itself and not charging, or overcharging & boiling the battery.
with all the electronics on the bike, the overcharging is worse imo as it could damage other stuff as well as wreck the battery.

yamaha r/r aren't infalible tho - got a m8 with a virago that was charging at 18v and killed his ignition wotsit.

Cheers buddy - mine seems ok after 29k, but given your comments think I'll invest in a R1/R6 unit
