Another R/R Question
This is absolutely normal for these bikes. Mine looked exactly the same when my mechanic looked at it, a little worse actually. Rectifiers get way too hot, especially the stock ones. The wire closest to the plug gets too hot as well and melts the rubber around it. If you looked at every stock rectifier from an F2 after about 12,000 miles, they would probably all look like this. I had the mechanic install a cheap rectifier from china and it's 10 times better than stock. Dissipates heat much better and charges just as well because of the new design. You can buy a new plug from ebay that has several inches of fresh wiring already attached.

Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Seems that there is something else wrong, or obstructing the flow of coolant around the engine.

So, what kind of troubleshooting have you done? Is the Cooling Fan turning on after the engine warms up? Is coolant flowing through the radiator?

Well, I take exception to that statement. Mine was only an observation of the dealer that keeps replacing the same part, expecting different results.
