Regulator from a 250 Superdream work?

Post by tim-e »

I'm off to france soon, my VTR has the stock finned reg'. I've used heat sink silicon & a ali' plate between the reg' & frame mount.Thinking of taking a spare, I do in fact have several reg's from various early bikes> Would the Superdream item work? thanks

No

You need an upgraded finned one from post 2001 Hondas with the same connectors as OEM http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CBR-125 ... 1c422a17dc

Of fit an even more durable MOSFET R/R with some wiring mods.

Ok thanks for that, I have read that the later VTR jobbies with the fins are a lot better ( same as the one fitted)
Are these finned one's as bad?

Yes a Superdream one will work, but you will have to take the connectors out of the SD block and put them into a Storm one.
Works fine.
