Which of the 2 R/R Mosfet ?

[Marc]

No problems so far, but I'm planning to change the R/R of my 955 2003 for a Mosfet FH020AA.
Which of the 2?  Is the one with the harness really plug and play?
Or maybe a 3th option?

That price doesn't seem to be much better than the Electrex MOSFET that Chris fitted and I've just bought. The Electrex RR99 is plug and play, but you have to route the purple sensing lead to the battery.

Well I think that you don't really want 100% plug and play if you haven't done the Sasquatch Mod of connecting the R/R directly to the battery. I did the kit in the bottom picture this summer. 

It includes everything needed to bypass the OEM wimpy wiring harness.  Pretty simple just a few solders joins to the metal prongs and a couple crimp connections with heat shrink.  Which you can use a heat gun or a lighter if you're careful.  Also some people solder the wires directly from the stator to the RR and bypass that crappy connector.

Yes I did the Sasquatch Mod

Thanks BB, and have you got a link?

Not possible to order online because... they have a dealer 10 miles from my door!   

[Chris Canning]

I didn't order on line either,although I wished I had with the individual on the phone  ,the bad news I've sinced checked she's the only one that answer's 

[Bixxer Bob]

Might actually get round to fitting mine tomorrow.....

[Chris Canning]

Funny you should say that stripped mine the other week to fit the R/R and now the back end is off for other reasons!! but blimey it's clean now.

[Bixxer Bob]

Go on, I'll take that carrot,  what "other reasons"   Chris?

[Bixxer Bob]

While I'm waiting for Chris to come back, I'll update on my reg rec.  I fitted the Electrex MOSFET today. Instant and steady 14.6v from tickover right up the rev range.  Adding lights and heated grips made no difference. Am I a happy man 

I have to explore this further, but she's also running really smooth, no pops or bangs so far and a nice burbling tickover. I can't remember when she last ran as well.  Can't wait to get her out on the road and see if it's made any real difference to all the poor starting / rough running issues.

I'll tell you when I've fixed it 

Re your bike running well mine did as well when I fired it up as crisp as I've known it for many a day and that's saying something because over the years it run really well.

Is this a eureka moment perhaps? Could borderline reg output be the source of many of the rough running issues I wonder?  I'll have a better idea once I've put some miles on her.
