Reply To: GV650 FI 2002 – REGULATOR / RECTIFIER Instant overheat
This is fantastic news! – Who could have thought ? but you could see why 99% of Hyosung owners go strictly NGK caps immediately as the factory caps were made by a company called “Golden” in china, they always caused random issues there and there, so it wasn’t worth the anxiety. Nice move on the coils too, Tourmax is OK, japanese parts, it should mate well with the RR.
For now, leave her at 25amps as as safe buffer. Service the bike , and take it for a short spin not too far from home and come back. While the bike is still hot, measure any resistance of the new parts and other sensors, to see if they are within the safe margins ? If yes, then we should assume to go for another longer ride and see how it actually feels (power , throttle , idling at traffic, fan temps (if the fan spins etc) ) now you get some real world data for yourself to make a better judgement.
If you feel anxious, carry a spare jump pack to start the bike and limp slowly back home but heaven forbid , as you said it’s idled for 30mins without a hitch.
Another thing, find out if the amperage changes when the 55w headlight is ON or OFF , and watch for any RR wires getting hot.
I have no correct answer yet in regards to the Fi light , despite the bulb working when manually triggered , i must assume it being OFF is a good thing , find out during your longer rides if it ever blinks whatsoever ?
If you come back and say there is zero issues during the test runs , then you must be ready to go! (Hopefully)
