The RR
 
I am having trouble with my speedometer. It stopped working today, then started again during my ride. I searched the forums and saw several posts regarding checking the RR or R/R; however, I am stumped as to what this means :confused:. I have been working on my own bikes for years, but this is a new one.

Thanks

The reference is to check the voltage on the regulator/rectifier to make sure it is still operating correctly. You'll need a voltmeter to do so.

Marm, a father??? Holy crap monkey's, when did that happen?? Congrats!!!

Thanks. I will check it out in the manual. Everything seems to be working great on the bike...

It sounds like the R/R fails periodically...?

The OEM r/r is reputed to fail pretty frequently. I replaced mine with an Electrex (now Electrosport) r/r. Some people do NOT recommend this company, but I've never had a problem with their product.

I believe other r/r's from other bikes will fit, and should be a lot cheaper to purchase.

Thx Randy. :)

I stuck an Ebay R1 unit on there.....no probs, lots of fins, big alloy heatsink body, 30bux.

Check the speedo' plastic drive nut in the front sprocket cover. Hopefully that is wearing out (they do) since they are only a few bucks.

It's electrical if the dash (clock, trip) resets.
