First of all, I would like to apologize for opening a new post, but I couldn't really find a problem similar to mine among the existing posts.

My motorcycle just had its valve clearance adjusted. My mechanic said my thermostat was stuck open, so he replaced it with a factory one. I warmed it up and took it out for a short ride today (about 30-40 kilometers) and noticed that the temperature gauge was between 67 and 73 degrees (153-164 degrees Fahrenheit) at around 80-90...

Guy never changed the title over to his name. Now Monday I get the impound notice for the bike. [emoji20]

It's been there since July 2025. Outside. Chain is fucked, it's been down softly on one side but the tank and bodywork look decent. No key

Buyer still has the key. I contacted him asking why he didn't change the title and he "lost it".

I can go get the bike for about $500. He would like to get the bike back but I'm not sure...

The problem appeared overnight. Saturday was driving perfectly, but Sunday morning the problem reappeared. It behaved normally three times, the idle was stable, and I drove. If it starts, that's the cause. It only started with the hood open, where it immediately revved up. I've never seen a similar problem or such a variable idle anywhere else. The fuses are good, the pump is turning on, and nothing was done before the problem occurred. Does anyone have...

Question then is what do I need to bear in mind if I were to replace the tail and brake lights, AND the front and rear indicators in a similar fashion?

Any pointers welcome.

I'm having a very specific issue with my fuel pump. When I turn on the ignition, the fuel pump won't prime, the FI light stays lit, and my aftermarket gear position indicator flashes F two times short and one long, repeating. Yet I have a way to start the bike every time from here.

If I want to start the bike I need to press the ignition for a few seconds, where the bike turns over...

Hey VFR peeps,

Looking for help. The bike will turn over strong but is not getting fuel. I recently had to fix the BAS wiring as the connectors melted so I removed the connector and spliced in directly. The bike was running well until the BAS wire melted so I figured that was the only issue. The bike died while riding. As you will see and hear in the video, something else is strange. When I turn OFF the kill switch and hold down the start button, you can...

I like the body style but shy away from the vtec issues.

Is there also a massive increase in the maintenance costs due to the vtec?
