Get one with fins and mount it next to a really good ventilated area. Possibly bolt near the front of the bike? More cooling the better Laughing

The "flat" ones without the fins get really hot, at least on mine which is hidden beneath the saddle. Next time I'd go for "fins".

£40 for the top one isn't a bad price, they were a lot more a couple of years ago. I've used two that look the same and had no problems with them.

As Oldie says, the ones without fins can overheat.

Work out the pin order and fit this one.

It wont break because it is a mosfet regulator rather than a zennor.

Think he means check that your layout is the same as that one.

As in the 1st pin is 12v+ and the 2nd is 5v+

Yours could be 1st pin 5v+ and 2nd pin 3.3v+ or something along those lines?

Just making sure you plug it in the right way/adjusting your wiring to suit.
I bodge, so would cut and solder it... but I wouldn't recommend it Laughing

Use the R1, Fazer 1000 R/R. They come with a 'tail' out of the recs body, makes cutting and soldering easy. Good units, not had one fail and they are cheap as chips, probably because they DONT fail.
Dont know what the 5 or 3.5 volts are that has been refered to. These are simply 3 (same colour) in from the alternator, one regulated live output, one earth.
Some early R/R came with a 'voltage sensor' input, these are V old technology and are unreliable, you dont need the voltage sensor connection wirth these.

Hmmm, So im getting the garage to fit it for me. Will they consider fitting a part that is not a direct fit?

So, I picked the bike up the other day, and when I pulled off and put it into second gear the rear wheel kicked out. i thought it might have been the wet road or the soggy leaves on the ground so I didnt think much of it. I take the bike out again today and the same thing happens, knock it into second and the rear wheel kicks out again. It doesnt do it any other time only seems to be the very first time it is put into second. I will take it out tomorrow and see if it happens again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I thought it might be because the rear wheel is slighty squared off, but it was like this before the clutch was changed and it never did this before.

Hi

First thing to check is the rear wheel bearings. Put the bike on the centre stand (if fitted) or a paddock stand if possible.Grip the type on opposite sides of the wheel and try and wobble it. See if you can feel a load of play (ie, no effort to move the wheel a couple of mm and then it stops moving).

All the best

cold tyres and cold road if its only the first time you put it in second when your out mines got a habit of doing the same when the rear is cold and with diablos fitted its even worse. and just check the shock and linkage bolts and then if i doubt hit it with the biggest hammer you can till it stops easyist way to fix a nc and as for the reg rec mines got a 2004 cbr600 unit fitted not had any trouble with it
