As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What was the cheap RR combo people are using? i blew mine up, long story. I cant remember the brand people were putting in them or off of what model hondas, i think it was a honda. either way, a link would be nice too :)
 
So i got the RR in and it tests good on the diod test, but after wiring it in im not getting any extra voltage. im reading 12 on and off. the test wire i wired directly into the orange wire. like, i cut the orange wire, stripped the 2 ends, and wire nutted the black and 2 orange wires back together. the orange wire i used was the one running directly into the brake light switch. running into that switch was an orange wire and a white wire. did i do this right? someone please help!

If you cannot afford to solder those wires then I suggest you always let someone know when and where you are riding so they can pick you up when it dies. Find someone who can do it for you. It is an hour job max to do a professional quality job.
 
Well, you would also need some shrink tubing or electrical tape, that could skyrocket the cost up another $3.
 
right.. well just paypal me some of your cash mr money bags because I pulled every last penny out of my a$s to just get the RR unit here. full time student and a parent of 2 = i literally don't have a dollar to my name. So wire nuts is what i have, wire nuts is whats going to have to work. either way its wired up and its working.
 
As a TEMP solution I dont have any gripes..I know your intention is to wrap it up right at the earliest conveinence. Ride it.
 
Hi Mr. kb_air,

I'm glad you got it all working. Yes, sometimes you just gotta use what you got. Perhaps you can get some blade connectors soon.


Thank you for your indulgence,
