[QUOTE="wessie"] You've already found the answer to this, yes. Very common on all VFRs, and CBR6s Make sure the connections are all good. On a T reg bike you want to be checking for corrosion around earth straps and inside connector blocks. If the wiring has got hot near the RR then the insulation might be brittle and cause crimped connections to become weak (bearing in mind this might not be the first replcement RR in the life of this bike). Lozzo remounted his VFR's RR at the front of the bike to aid cooling. You could fit a PC processor fan and/or heatsink. Finally, I hope you like the bike when it is fixed. I rode one back in the 90s when they came out. As the owner of a late 750 model I was a tad disappointed with its replacement. [/QUOTE] Wasn't the R/R at fault - mines been replaced with one from a Fireblade. The connector (3 phase yellow wires) had melted - completely melted - so I guess whoever did the replacement may not have been too careful when making the connections. Ah well, some new connectors and all's well again. Got a 12v fan from a PC power supply and I'm going to fit that onto the R/R at the weekend. Belt, braces and a bit of bale'o'twine ought to fix it!
