:thumbs up: The R1 R/R are great! I was surprised at the reading I got at the battery too.

thanks for postin the pix 626. yes, after much frustration i did the electrosport troubleshooting. i found that my previous "upgrade" (I used a '97 regulator to replace a previously fried OEM unit) was toast. it had an output of less than 4 volts. i checked the stator and it put out 72 VAC at just under 5000 RPM, a good number indeed. so i ordered a new R1 and will be installing it in the next few days. thanks for all your help!!!!

It makes me feel good inside when I can help someone out.:biglaugh::biglaugh:
It`s one of the best mods that you can do for your bike and it will definately thank you for it.

Will a regulator off of 07 Vmax be an improvement on an 89 or should I be looking for the R1 regulator?

 

[maleko89]

Comparing an R1 to late model is like comparing a late model to an early model. I would find an R1, ZX 10R or 12R unit.

Do you need the wiring/connectors from the R1 regulator or will the Vmax wiring/connectors work? I understand having to up gauge on the wiring but didn't know if the connectors are the same. I can pick a couple of different R1 regulators but none come with the wiring.

Does anyone know if the connectors to the r1 type regulator can be purchased? Are they a part of the main harness?

i think most guys are getting corresponding size spade connectors and heat shrink and just plugging them into the pins on the reg. all the mods i've done on the bike and i still havent gotten to this yet. course i have never had a weak/dead battery or a hot start problem with the 97 since i bought it in 2000!

I use the Venture regulator and it works great. I had to make a bracket to mount it. Are they different than the R1's?
