I Need Electrical Help for RC24

Hello, I am new to VFR's and motorcycles as a whole and I picked up a project 1986 RC24 because I though it would be fun (it isn't) and I am having trouble with electrical, it could be that it's having a hard time since it sat for a while but I have replaced the wiring harness, fuse, ignition (actually new), turn signals (only has rear + one front), spark unit ecu thingy, and dash from a f2. When i try to start it, the starter relay clicks/whines, for the most recent attempt the starter finally sounded like it's doing something + the fuel pump "pumped" a pump (now fuel just flows through) + the turn signal no longer flashes (it is on and when i go to indicate, the light goes out) and the brake light no longer lights up (only consistent dim). So, my question to everyone is: ideas on what could be wrong and where can I get actually new electrical + parts? also, should I disconnect the starter from the relay/solenoid and jump it to try to get it started?

 

How good is the battery? Your symptoms sound like just not enough battery current to do the job.

Does the engine turn over manually i.e. with a socket on the end of the crank or in gear turning the back wheel (with the spark plugs out)?

 

ok Mr. crazy !

a healthy battery shows a voltage of about 12.6 volts, and owning a simple multimeter is necessary for bike maintenance. its ok to use jumper cables from a car battery for temporary power.

you will need a vfr service manual (with a wiring diageam) and need to study it.

its doubtful that u needed to replace many of the things u did. there is a green wire ground up front that should be checked and bolted to frame, front right side. you must have a 12volt battery charger as well as the test meter to do bike work.

good luck, kid. my theory is that a vfr700 is not a good bike for any inexperienced young beginner. good idea to ride a smaller bike for a year or two on the street, or get a training class, then step up to a 700 with some of the experience you need. others will have a different opinion, im sure.

dont ride crazy , kid, ya hear ?
