And all of the VFRs since the mid-90's. VFR's just burn them up like crazy. They were shit stock pieces, no doubt from cheap parts that arent up to the task. Most likely cost cutting. Honda should know better, and should have fixed it a long time ago. An R1 R/R is usually the best option for the VFR. Much bigger with larger and deeper cooling fins.

Our 2/10/50 charger was essential in getting the 500 back running because we had to crank on it so much initially to get it to bite until we got the carbs right after many attempts at cleaning. It would run the battery down in no time and my Tender doesnt put out enough juice to roll it over. The 2/10/50 was a godsend....
