1986 VFR Restoreof Japanes import

So, I *think* this might be where your rectifier goes? Number 12 on the diagram.

 

Nope. That is right near where the connector for the Starter Solenoid exits the harness above/rearward of the battery.

 

I poked around one of my 86 last night and couldn't find that plug, but my harness is really tightly packed against the frame right there. I will check a different one tonite, but I'm starting to think the US model doesn't have that plug. I also have a bare harness in a box I can check too.

 

Thanks Guys, I went through my Photos as well, but of course the angle WOULD be wrong so can see nothing.
Mine is a Japanese import...
Weird..Im gonna check with my mate, he has an 86 Japan Inmport as well
will report back

 

So all the shite with the decals faded into the background. Got her started....
4 cylinders...
Occasional misfire

wont idle properly


and gonna be in for it, when the girlfriend gets home as the garage is under the house and now we have the aromatics of exhaust and engine paint heat curing

So worth it

 

That's purdy right there

 

Ok, so she has been cutting out (electrical methingk) ansd turns out the regulator is shot (on idle it starts climbing until i shut it off at 14.5 V)

Been reading and seems generally the R1 mosfet rectifier is most reccommended....
I can get this one from Amazon (their delivery is assured, South africa)



What do you think, Or i can get an original(locally at twice the cost of this one!!!, without cables either




I am asking as i dont have much experience with rectifiers,or ordering ones from Amazon so advice here is helpful

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

Yeah, excited, still a few weeks away

Cap your thoughts on Amazon rectifier?
Wanna pull trigger but need confirmation

 

It's hard to say. I just got done reading a few reviews from people in different motorsports (ATV, snowmachine, motorcycle, etc) and they seem generally pleased, even after some time. A lot of them comparing it to Rick's units that have been around for a while.

I know that price doesn't necessarily equal quality, but I don't think this is a likely dud like some $28 piece of shit.

 

Yeah, getting items inported here is a HUGE mission, so i'm gonna pull the trigger, Lets hope its good.Ill report back

 

Couple more teasers from the painter... small things like the small line around interceptor...font...but hell... its not a black shadow.l
..so this will do. Rectifier on order. Fuel pump off a thunderace fitted. (mine died)

 

Paint and striping is looking great, but...

The "VFR 750" is ok and the "INTERCEPTOR" is fair. But the "GEAR DRIVEN CAMS V4" is a harsh toke.

Once it is cleared and some time goes by, it will sting less. Keep on moving.

 

Nice to see fairings that don't have a bunch of cracks and scrapes --- and missing chunks!

 

Thank guys...good thing yall are commenting by as we are flying blind not having a rwb to compare to... my mate is gonna see about the painter covering the grear driven with red, and will slap a sticker on there... cant unsee it now

Fairings have repairs...

 

The Sunk Cost Fallacy

Yes they were expensive and you already bought them. You didn't HAVE to proceed. The money was already spent and the bikes will never be "original".

Your painter seems good. I would have pivoted to a custom, simple stripes paint job. With lines like the NR750.

 

Yeah, decals were supposed to be for template only... ah well...live and learn, will see ehat all he can do
