Honda R/R Defective ?

[Robu]

I did the duaneage Honda swap on my GS1000e after a year and half it quit working
no charging over 12.98 volts so my battery went south and also my stator .
new battery and a used stator also were replaced still not charging so I just figured the old stator killed the old R/R . ( Old stator was toast really nasty)
I returned the old reg/rec to Duane and he sent me another one this one is working great .
still can't figure out what could have happened with the old one . Any ideas ??

While the Hondas

are much better implementation that the OEM R/R, I doubt they are immune to failure.


Also it has been my experience that failures of the R/R and probably the stator are very ofter related to bad connections on both the + and - side of the battery. This can cause over charging or heating which leads to failure of the stator and R/R or both.

If the connections stay healthy then everything can work in harmony if not the whole thing comes crashing down.

What they said, also a bad stator could have shorted the reg too..

I ran Rob's RR on my 650 today for a 45 minute ride and it performed perfectly. Looks like there was a bad connection somewhere on his end. I'll test it tomorrow on a 40 mile ride. I replaced his RR for shipping costs with another one.

Still looking for a bad Honda RR, but none so far.
