Then started the motor and checked battery whilst motor was running.
Was reading 14.14 volts.
And the regulator got hot hot hot.
I'm lead to believe that VFR400's are another Honda who's Regs get very hot, and are the weak point of that model?
My RGV (am I allowed to say that?) gets warm, and no problems holding it.
I've bought another Heavy duty Reg, but the mounting requires some thinking out!
A mate of mine explained the reg as an absorber of excessive voltage from the generator. And thus get hot. Err...OK if that's the way it is, so be it.
But I don't think it's right to get so hot!
More help needed please!
