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.

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

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?

I've had a '97 VFR (loved it) and now have an '03 (love it too) Goes well with the cbr's


I've even tracked the big VFR a few times with nice results...



You wont go wrong buying a VFR. I dont think i've ever met anyone that owned one that didn't love it.

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