Webbfast, I can tell you this. I repaired a customer's Vtec with similar symptoms a couple years ago, with similar time on it. I actually...
My first instinct is to say air leak, because of the idle fluctuation...but having to hold the throttle open to restart is consistent with 'rich'...
I'd begin by replacing the spark plugs. With all your 'cold' season starting and running it's possible one is fouled. Make sure any vacuum...
I had an 86 VFR 750 that I bought used around '89'. There wasn't really a 'seat of the pants' noticable difference between the 750's and 700's....
I sold my 91 for 3800$ two years ago...but it was mint and had extras. It recently resold for 2800$...the owner needed money and the bike had...
Ummm...much as I hate to be the buzz kill...you may want to evaluate your reasons for embarking on this project. Older V4's probably not the...
Sounds like you are on 'track'. An R/R failure is charging system. Most Honda's you can totally unplug the R/R and the bike will run fine...
So...do you have power to the subfuses (headlight, etc.) as well as the main? If you do, the problem wouldn't be the ignition switch...or you...
I can tell you from personal experience that if you disconnect the front brake light switch wires...horn and turnsignals will still work. I...
You do know everytime you boil coolant out the system must be refilled...at the rad cap after cooling down? Generally, if you're getting hot...
Yeah that would have alot to do with it. That supplies power to the running lights inside the left handlebar switch...it originates at the...
If I remember correctly you can watch the 'action' of the transmission by removing the oil pan and shifting throught the gears while turning the...
You shouldn't need a diagram for that. They're the blue and orange wires with white tracers going to the front blinkers. The solid colors are...
Now, now...let's not lump all rodents in the same basket. Notice I used the word 'pests', which I thought was reasonably PC.
Here in the US we don't have headlight switches...so the wiring isn't exactly the same. Have you run the bike? Is your battery possibly very...
It's been five years or so since I've had cams out of one of these...so I'm working from a memory gap. But I can tell you a few things... The...
Careful doing that...don't stretch those fuel lines any more than necessary. They can break.
While that would fix your hand lever operated brake light...there's absolutely no reason it would fix turn signals or horn. Gotta be a...
I was wondering that too but was afraid to ask. Oh...and I forgot to mention...take the 'bent' nail out when you're done.
If the noise comes and goes very abruptly, and it's a loud rattle...it's probably the automatic cam chain tensioner backing off (it's not supposed...
