www.motorcycleproject.com/motorcycle/text/ammeter.html.....       just a little more on my previous post, well written & pretty easy to understand.

Good article, if a bit dated. The information is still relevant. Ammeters don't necessarily need to have the main feed run through them though, some of the nicer units I've seen come with a shunt that wires in at the battery and only require a light gauge connection to the shunt to do their job. Quite simple to install and, as the article indicated, they give you a real-time look at what's happening rather than something after the fact.

Well in all honesty you must admit "It is A honda"

Honda does make nice smooth engines but seems a bit lacking in the electrical side of things.

A Honda with a spare stator in the trunk is THE most reliable bike you are EVERY going to find.

Once you've replaced the R/R with one from an R1, I completely agree.

Yeah, that too. And maybe some enlarged fork seal guards made from a 2 liter bottle.

Bigger than the ones it already has? Seems a little extreme. What problems have you had with seals?

None, but it's cheap insurance. Leaky fork seals are dangerous and sometimes overlooked on a long trip because everything else gets so dirty.  Oil dripping onto your rotors is a BAD thing, don't ask how I know that...

I'll have to take your word for that. Lol I'm a bit of a freak for maintenance and my forks come apart every couple years to clean them and replace the fluid. That means new seals as well. The last seal failure I experienced was on a three year old 1977 RM 125 that I was in the habit of severely abusing.
