Apparently if you buy an R1, a Fireblade, or similar, a mosfet R/R comes standard. People who are heading far beyond the horizon on their BMW GSs etc often replace the standard R/R with a mosfet item before they go. If my current item shits itself I'll be upgrading.
My 11 STR came with the Shindingringding Mosfet but I upgraded it anyway to the SH847 of the same manufacturer , as used on the DL1000, and is a wave chopping rather than shunt (which means feeds it into the windings and hopes the oil strips out enough heat to survive).
Measured with a laser temp gauge the cover the stator bolts to is like a full 10degrees folder after a decent ride.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
