Thanks for the input.
I suspect it was corrosion on the contacts causing the heat buildup.
Testing the stator shows the correct resistance, regulator wires look absolutely fine.
There is cooked plastic on the spade connectors so I'm fairly confident this would be the cause.
Just struggling to find some cable thick enough also due to the high temps the wire has been cooked/contaminated and solder won't flow.
Just going to have to cut back further into the loom I guess |

98 and 99 are pretty much the same machine.
00 was the next major revision and I may get a chance to play on an 04.
I won't lie, I prefer the looks of the later models and I doubt the extra 30 bhp wouldn't be appreciated but I'm curious to see what the power delivery is like and what all the fuss is about...
The 99 is a wheelie machine, although not such a good thing on bumpy country lanes without a steering damper |

Any clues on what gauge cable I should be looking for?
It looks like standard 240v/13 amp is a little thinner than the cables to be joined...
Would halfrauds 12v/27amp be overkill? |

The '98 R1 is like no other machine known to man, it has a throttle that goes both ways. ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

Fair play...
Just some feed back, soldered the stator cables and getting a solid 14.5v @ 5k. Took it out for an hour and all seems to be good |

Yes, 1999 was a long time ago and unless you've cleaned all the electrical plugs (the critical ones being the stator, reg/rec and the fuse box and battery terminals) it was only a matter of time, when the oxidation build up would cause issues.
Keeping things clean and well lubricated is the key for longevity. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
