You need good information right now more than you need gear... Do some online searching, or better yet - visit your local library and read a few books on the subject before you start buying reloading equipment. This is not an inexpensive pastime and will demand an investment of cash and time. It's far better to be well informed (and consequently safer by an order of magnitude) if you intend to take up this hobby; it requires precision, patience, and a modest proficiency with math... but it can be very rewarding. I have downloaded a bunch of books and have started to read. I have a friend who reloads and can help me. Just try to get an idea of a price it will cost to start up. I have seen reloading kits only like this one http://cgi.ebay.ca/Lee-Anniversary-Reloadi...1QQcmdZViewItem Just want something cheap to start out on to see if I will like doing it or not.

I am looking to start reloading my own rifle ammo and was wondering if anyone has any basic reloading gear they want to get rid of for cheap. right now I have nothing so I don't really know what I need other than powder bullets and brass. thanks

Got it from these guys http://www.umotorsfargo.com/ I bought a stator from them 3 weeks ago for $144. These guys also want like $47 for the R1 stator. Just to give you an idea of what parts cost up here that same stator was $490cnd and the rectifier is $190cnd. the R1 rectifier is $150cnd

Sorry that was $84us or about $100cnd. Soon the cnd dollar will match the US dollar. Then we are taking over the world. lol

I paid $84 for the stock honda one.

Plus the stock honda one from 2000 and up have the heatsinks as well. The only reason I wanted to avoid the R1 rectifier was to avoid cutting the wires as the 99 and up birds wireing is different than tthe 96-98. I will pick up a used R1 rectifier when I find a good deal on them and bring it with me on trips just in case

I plan on picking up and r1 rectifier too as a spare. I would like to stick with the stock one because I don't really want to start cutting wires. If my bike was a 97 or 98 the R1 rectifier would be a no brainer but my current one has no plug in it and 2 wireing harness coming out of it and sense the stock one also lasted me 5 years

I have decided to buy an oem rectifier for my 2000 but am not sure which one to get. according to ronayers the part number for an 00 is 31600-MAT-E01. However a 03 is 31600-MAT-D51 from what I have heard the newer ones seems better. Will the newer one work? Will the plugs fit. My 00 has no plug in it but has 2 wireing harness coming out of it. Thanks

Just got back from thw bike shop. They tested the battery and it tested fine. They even gave me a battery they use there all the time to try and it does the same thing. The only fifferenec between the 2 are the one they gave me is a little taller (same brand yusa).

I will get the new battery tested. I only had the new battery a few months and it was kept on a battery tender the whole time.

Does anyone know if the rectifier from a 2001 r6 will work in the bird? It seems to have the same part number as the the R1

Brand new stator I put on today. So brand new stator and brand new battery doing the same thing as old stator and old battery.

I did that last year. I thought the battery was dead so I got a new one and it was doing the same thing. Then after going through the trouble shooting charts it looked to be the stator.

Forgot to mention it was a new battery. Bought it last year and never used it. I kept it on a battery tender all winter

When I check the battery when the engine is not running it is reading at 12.65
