R/R Replacement - A pictorial guide

[Guest]

Hello friends,

I did some more work on Jessie this weekend, snapped a few pictures, and wrote up another little guide on how to replace your r/r and hung it on my little BikeCliff website. It's no biggie, but the new mechanic might get some use out of it.

You know what I did the other day? I googled "bikecliff" and half of the hits on the first page were about my little website! I was shocked!

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I seriously mean it when I say the service you provide is priceless, and you deserve some credit for singlehandedly helping keep these great old bikes on the road. I'm replacing mine as soon as the part arrives from Bike Bandit, so I'll be looking at your guide soon.

Wow!

GREAT JOB, as always, Clifford!!\\/

I just read through the article and found this:

I just wish I had smaller hands to work in those tight places.

What impresses me even more is that apparent third hand that Cliff has grown to be able to take pictures while wrenching. :shock:

Another fine piece of work, Cliff. \\/ \\/ \\/

Your humble servant

LOL! That's pretty funny right there.

Thanks everyone. Glad to be of service.

Great article.

I just replaced mine last Tuesday with a 2003 Honda CBR600 R/R. It came with three yellow wires, two red, and two green. I soldered the three yellow to the stator wires, the two red to a 15A fuse, the 15A fuse to the original red R/R wire on the bike, and the two green went to the original ground. Now I'm thinking that red wire could be going through the fuse and the fuse box alike. Will have to verify that tonight. I thought I'd traced it back to just the positive on the battery, but want to be sure, now.

BassCliff, you're the best. My R/R does not look anything like the one in photo #2 (the stock Suzuki model). I've been testing mine and I'm ready to replace it (duanage is sending me a new one) so I've had it off the bike and it looks just like Honda one you show. Is it possible Suzuki used a different one on my bike or could the service people (who had my bike a couple years ago) messed up something on my bike and replaced it without me knowing?

Just a guess

Hi Mr. slowride,

I think it's more possible that a previous owner replaced the r/r at sometime in the past. If you're the original owner, then I don't know. 8-[

Yes, I am the original owner.
