But....there is a problem with them regarding the charging system. I know a guy with an '02 who has been through 2 OEM stators, 2 OEM rectifiers and 2 aftermarket rectifiers. He is now looking for another rectifier! Another guy is on his second rectifier.

 

Never had a problem with either of my two VFR's. Most owners that have electrical issues have accesories added which i think strains the system.

 

Tori I am so jealous of your garage!!! 3 bikes to my none. =(

 

There's a guy on vfrdiscussion.com that makes a modified harness add on. They have good info.

 

Someone buy one and let me ride it... please! I'd love to try one out.

 

I'm beginning to think that CBR stands for Counton Buying Rectifiers...and VFR is the same way: inVariably Faulty Regulators...is it that hard to perfect a technology this old or is it some propietary, unavoidable thing?

 

have not had the VFR 800 had theprevious model 96 750 and love the damn thing only got rid of it due to a permanent duty station change which was a joke but anyway you can lean it right over enjoyed the hell out of it and I have heard horror stories about the reflector just melting down never seen it and don't want to

 

i think i need to change my underwear
nice garage

 

I will look into one for my next bike. I like the RC51, but a VFR 800 would work just fine.

 

i love that bike almost got it up until i was told about my cbr. almost done deal had to get my deposit back. dude wasnt too happy but oh well...
