2003-2005 R6 regs are the business.

This happened to my cdi just a couple of weeks ago from a dodgy honda reg/rec (a late model finned version) overcharging the system:



The engine died, left me stranded to watch smoke coming out from under the seat unit....

sorry to thread jack but are they underneath the seat panel on the left hand side just behind you bum?

and do they get VERY VERY Hot? if so is that normal?

your looking for 99-02 5 pin regs think the later 6 pin ones are for the injected models the one i have sitting here for my project bike is marked SH650A-12 if thats of any help to you.

Yep thats the one i purchased also but haven't fitted it yet as the original rectifier is still going strong but it's on my list of things too do

confused now what are the 6 pin ones from then post 2005 models ?

2003 - 2005 models I use

Will this 5 pin reg plug straight in, or do you need to adapt the connector?
