It just quit working for no reason. I was out today, started up nice and well, went to school, and stoped at the store. Well, it wouldn't start up at the store. I turned over like once or twice and then it just stoped. It has power and fuel pump primes. I had to bump start it to get home. It wont even turn over now. I'm getting power, checked my 10amp and 30amp fuses and pushed on some connections to make sure they were secure. I had my battery on my tender but I some how doubt thats my main problem. I think I do have a charging problem some where on my bike. I'm gona let it sit on the tender till it says good than try it. If thats not the problem what else should I check?

 

Year and Model please...

 

Took it off the tender and it started right up. So I'm thinking I either have A. Charging Issue B. Bad Battery that wont charge properly.

Cant you tell by my picture?




F4

 

If someone were to have a picture of the RC212V as their avatar, would you think that's their machine?

 

I have had this same issue with my CBR900RR several times in the past few years. I'ts probably not your battery dying, although by now it may very well be toast too. The problem is either the stator is worn out or the voltage rectifier is burned out. A stator will cause a voltage rectifeir to burn out also and the battery, so you could be looking at having to buy all three. I believe if you Google "ElectroSports stator" you will find their website, they have a how to on there to test the stator to see if it is bad. Start there.


The F4 used the same voltage r/r as the CBR1100XX, CBR600F3, CBR900RR. The oem voltage r/r suck + if you combine that with a faulty stator. If you do need to buy a new stator, buy an ElectroSports brand aftermarket. OEM Honda stator is like $250. All other aftermarket brands of stators just suck and don't last more than a year at the very best.

The CBR929RR had factory bad stators, they wear out fast. ElectroSports stator is way better and lasts a long time.

 

I really have been thinking for a LONG WHILE that there might be something funny with my R/R. I might as well buy them all.

 

If you find out your voltage R/R is fried, which i'm sure it is. Just look at the metal terminals inside the wire connector going to the voltage r/r to see if they have burn marks, if so..it's toast. ebay seller usa-motorcycles sells replacement units for around $49 shipped. OEM unit will set you back around $175-200.

 

Here is the guy on ebay that sold me a new voltage r/r for $47 shipped.
