I dont want to bore you with all the details regarding the problems I've been having and the great amount of time and energy I used trying to get my F3 to run. Instead I just have 2 questions:

1) It would be really helpful and I would be so grateful if someone could tell me what this is:



Here is a close up of the male piece:



And the female piece:



2) Can I order a replacement online? Or do I need to pay an arm and a leg through my local Honda dealer?

Thank you so much for any help, I love you.

 

That connector is an intermediate connector between the Stator and the Regulator/Rectifiier (R/R) located on the right side of the bike below the seat. Lots of current and lose connections cause corrosion on those connections. I'd look at the connector to the R/R as well

 

Thanks for your help man. I cant seem to find a place to purchase these specific parts online, so Im going to remove the pieces and take them to the dealership to see if I can order a replacement

 

Maybe check with a place like this. The dealer is only going to sell you the component like the Stator or entire Wiring Harness (which is obsolete now).

Motorcycle Terminals, Connectors, and Wiring Accessories

 

Can't you bypass the connector?

Maybe get a generic connector with at least 3 connections and wire it in. That's what I would do.

 

Awesome link man thanks so much. Im definitely going through this guy
