wnaplay Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 A little re-cap of the bike, cbr900rr 1998 bought and rebuilt. The previous owner wrecked it and in doing so also ripped off the connector on the stator wire where it connects under the seat. I replaced it with just regular "butt" connectors with heat shrink ends. I have rode it this way for a few years but I noticed very quickly that a few minutes after riding, the wires were so hot it was melting the plastic the encased the metal connector portion of the connector. Make any sense? Should these wires get that hot? They are not scaldingly hot and perhaps they do get hot and the plastic portion of the connectors is just not meant for what I am using and I need to get something more industrial. I mean these are the same thing I would use to connect a regular wire in a car or something. It was all I had at the time. Does anyone have any suggestion? I need to get this thing going.
