Blackbird/fireblade regulator
INDY BIRD - 26/1/09 at 07:15 PM

Hi had problems with my blackbird regulator and managed to get hold of a fireblade one to try,

question is are they compatible to use between the 2 bikes does anyone know before i try,???????

The pins look the same but not sure if they wire up the same any ideas welcome


thanks all again

Three yellows, red and black its just bike standard.

Fireblade ones are particularly weak though so make sure you only have a little battery and its in the airflow or it will quickly overheat and die!

Blackbird is 3 yellow wires 1 red/white and a green,

red/white live green earth,

are they as bad as the blackbird ones or better both have bad histories for it,

thanks for the reply

got mine from cheshire motorcycle slavage, saw him take it off another honda. it had no fairings on it and was no more than a 250. salvage man said all same part if appearance is same. been on mine now for 2 years no probs.

Thanks all for replies,

sussed it now working

was a combination of a bad earth and replaced the regulator with a fireblade one with fins,

also moved its location onto a 8"x8" piece of ali to help disipate the heat from it,

it should also get some air over it once on the move,

may get a small fan to keep it cool if a known problem didnt realise how hot they got until i picked it up after running for about 3mins

thanks again

now ready for sva
