Yeah, the main red to ign switch was 0v DC as well. What does this mean?
I checked all 4 wires at the ignition ON and I got nothing... P.S. brand new battery @12.75v
Squirrelman, you are correct. The solenoid was weld shut. I have already replaced the relay to fix this. But my bike does not turn on right now...
By "check for B+" did you mean check for 12V (DC?)? If so, am I doing the check correctly (as shown in the image, checking L)? If I am doing it...
I believe L is for "Light Blue". The ignition switch, I think you mean out from where the key goes in on the ignition column. That bundle, as...
Okay. But I think offhand there is probably a problem, since there is continuity between the stator leads, as well as between each lead and the...
Continuity is checked with the ohmmeter... here's my manual... only that I have a 700cc: 1986 VFR500F Manual
@rjgti Where exactly would this voltage check be taken place? Sorry I'm just not sure. Btw, I think new development... I just checked the...
Finally an update - the new relay came, and is installed no problem. Now hooking it up to the battery doesn't cause the starter to start itself...
Thanks kennybobby, crustyrider, and slowbird. I think we've found it. The starter relay does in fact have continuity between the two bolts. Took...
@crustyrider - my starter button is okay - a bit sticky (based on continuity tests), but I know its sweet spots to keep it disengaged vs. engaged....
Okay, after a lot of effort (including cutting off a bolt a previous owner forcefully installed to hold the side panel in), the problem seemed to...
By "main ground wire" did you mean the negative lead from the battery to the frame? If so... I just checked continuity there as well, and it looks...
So circuitry checked... still nothing... :( any more ideas? - Ignition switch - Passed - Starter switch - Passed - Engine kill switch - Passed...
Thanks for the advices on the manual... I found a copy of the 86 VFR750F and VFR500F manuals (per this and this post)... It should be close enough...
Would you happen to have, or know if there is much of a difference with VFR500F vs VFR700F manuals? If there is a big difference, do you have the...
Haha thanks for the nut house... This is kind of fun though, so far... but electricals.. ugh.. It fell on the "brakes" side - so you could be...
Thanks kennybobby. I pulled out the 6-pin and checked circuit continuity with a multimeter and I got nothing with the ignition on (as seen in the...
Maybe I phrased it wrong... The bike still does not turn on when I turn the key. Still no lights. I don't think this is related to the START...
- Bought new fuses. Replaced all that I could find. - Bought a multimeter. Checked it all - circuitry seems to be all good. - I have a battery...
