Involute Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 This is fun! I'll say "Yes" too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunedain Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi Birdies, Did you replace your reg/rec? Mine broke down at 36000 km. I say yes. Yep mine just went south after ~50,000 miles The new OEM one looks very different. All cover with cooling fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookman49 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yep, replaced mine right around 50,000 miles as well (shit the bed on me at NeXXt). I replaced mine with an R1 unit though. Stayed away from the Honda one this time. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 R/R and stator dead at 28000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I upgraded mine to the R1 r/r, the one I had on there was fine. That should have been a clue.... 3 months later the R1 r/r crapped out on the road (thanks, Brett and Goldwing Louis). I replaced it with another R1 R/R, and carry my OEM R/R in my tank bag, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriartii Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Mine never went south but I did upgrade to an R1 r/r. Kinley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yes, three of them in 60.000 miles..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Replaced mine at about 40k miles, with a 15 year old VF 750's (was visiting Dad and didn't want to wait for originals). This lasted 3 years and at 60ishk I replaced it with the cheaper of the two that Partmonster sold. Haven't had a problem since. Infact, I charge at idle now.

Dotetcher Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Replaced reg/rec and stator at 90,000 miles (JJPXX told me it was the original after I purchased the bike from him) and another reg/rec just a few weeks ago at 120,000 miles.

YO Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 my 99' has 30,000 would you replace it it is still good should I be looking for one, thanks Ron The 99 reg/rec are of a modified type so it lasts longer dan the 1997. Why bother to replace it XXSTAR... If it's good it's good Some BB-pilots always have a spare with them just in case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I replaced mine (1997 XX) at ~40k with a 2003 XX regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bird Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I replaced my stator and battery at around 50-60,000 kms. Haven't touched the R & R yet, but I do think/worry a little about it. 102,000 kms now. Don't know why the stator fried itself. I saw it, and smelled it when it was off the bike. I had to wait two weeks for a replacement, OEM, b/c they weren't any in Canada. It caused me a little grief cause I was leaving on a long road trip soon. Honda Canada told me it was in transit, which it was, and all worked out ok, except the cost, ouch. '02 cherry red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I`m on original parts after 93 k miles,my xx is 1999 model.Do I win some kind of prize ? My only add-ons are electric vest and gloves in cold weather. I think the key is clean connectors and not trying to squize couple more months of your old battery.

Dano Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My 2002 has the newer one with the cooling fins/heatsinks. At 30,000 miles still going strong. I only run heated grips and a Gerbings jacket once in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
