Apparently a R/R replacement is common.
 

It might not be the thing that solves the issues I am currently having but all fingers point to it regardless if testing it proves other wise.

I found burnt wire today coming out of my r/R and spliced in new ones and added new connectors.

My question after looking on eBay and seeing a new one for a 98 for 80 bucks and an after market one that looks simular and has the same connections is what is the most bang for my buck. I don't want to spend a lot but will if I can. If I can get one for 19.99 shipped vs 80.oo then I am down for the lower price.

I am no expert on this particular bike and am turning to you for some advice. I haven't done a price shopping g at the local honda store because they have a 20 percent mark up amd only carry OEM.

I bought a used mosfet zx10 r/r on ebay for about $30 shipped. It was a super cheap way to get into a mosfet. Then i bought $20 worth of connectors and wired it up.

You can see pics in my build thread.

The r/r thread will give all the different usable part numbers. I went with the zx10 r/r because it wasn't as known as the r1 r/r, so it was cheaper.

I have gone with me ZX 6 RR FH016aa mosfet on a few VTRs and usually get them shipped for around $25

I either use the eastern beaver VRR kiss or make my own using the same weatherproof connectors and fuse assembly and wire the VRR output directly to the battery and add a secondary battery ground cable Plus heatsink paste on the back of the VRR and other tweaks

Coincidentally I thought I had an issue within the last week or so with either the stator or VRR and it turned out I believe though I haven't finished testing to be a cracked case shorting out my auxiliary USB dual 2 amp power port

M. Link, if you are tight on cash, I have a stock R/R (later model finned version) you can have. Just pay for shipping. It has been tested and is working normally. Just remember, it's not a MOSFET type and eventually will fail. It could be a few weeks after or even several years, but you will still need to replace it with a MOSFET unit.

I love this forum! So much generousity!!!

How much to ship to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma? Right now money is that tight and the hawk is my daily commuter to and from work. I plan on getting the MOSFET unit in the near future.
