Hello, longtime lurker here, but signed up needing mechanical advice. Shameless thread plug below. https://vfrworld.com/threads/charging-electrical-issue-advice-6th-gen.56813/#post-600612 Anyways, this is my second bike after being talked into an HD sportster. After diagnosing the sporty for carb/sensor issues, paying hundreds to HD to say they don't know anything, I realized function and reliability are essential. I've been riding for 3 years and commute to work nearly everyday, 8 months out of the year. The VFR was made for this, less the current issues i'm dealing with (semi-pun unintended). Also have a 919 hornet for messing around town. Don't have the time/patience/money to be tinkering with two bikes and a car. So, while the VFR on paper suits my needs perfectly, if I don't get the electrical resolved, might be looking for 7th gen 1200. Prefer not to post pics - some fairing scrapes after driveway spill. Bike is completely stock.
