new 5th gen vfrness question

Hey folks! I'm new to VFRs but not to Hondas or bikes in general. I never had electrical or any issues with my older bikes like my CBR f4. I picked up a 2000 vfr with 8000 miles and love the bike, no issues so far! I'm seeing all the talk on reg/reg etc so I ordered a Ricks MOSFET to prevent that failure. I haven't got the VFRness but wondered how critical that was on the year bike I have? I'd like to avoid screwing with a bunch of wiring at this point. BTW great forum!

 

Just check all the wiring for burn mark on every oil change. Install a volt meter to monitor your voltage
Good to have the RR and the VFRness handy with the bike. Keep on riding and be happy :thumb:

 

I had a 5th & a 6th gen. Both needed the R/R's replaced. Luckily I had a friend who is a mad scientist when it comes to VFR's and electrical work. We beefed up the wiring while we had it down. My opinion? When you do the R/R, do the VFRness. Save yourself the headache later.

 

I'd go with the VFRness too. Its not that difficult, actually. And as any long time member knows on here, I'm usually a mechanical idiot. But, I was able to change out my R/R and add teh VFRness, as well as solder all the connections (that took some practice and time), but in the end, it was well worth it IMO.

 

Alright thanks for the info!
