Congratulations on the new ride. The VFR1200 is a fantastic bike. I think it's funny that you make projects of new bikes. I buy project bikes and...
I like my grammar like my spelling "shaken not stirred." I should also never type while sleep deprived (or while running over 100 as the case may...
I did poorly in reading comprehension but made up for it on the essay. I guess your point is Pork's is not interested in a Dallas parts bike.
Yep, I just got done going from Dallas to Colorado and back. It was 750 miles there and only the last 50 could be considered fun. The road was so...
I don't think a computer is going to show you much. You need a wire schematic to trace the circuit. It's pretty obvious that the relay is not...
I probably didn't give it a fair run since the temperature was 102. I'll give it a try in more moderate temps when it cools down a bit.
Ignition switch?
If you banned everything with risk we would all be without our bikes. Maybe a well placed warning label would suffice. Around here they did say no...
If you hot wired the pump and it starts then you have a switch or relay issue related to energizing the pump. It looks like you are getting close...
Now that you have the scratches and blemishes out of the way you can actually enjoy riding the bike. I know the feeling. I did the same thing. I...

My advice is to start the trip with new tires and chain. Take a tire repair kit, plus tools, a flashlight, zip ties and bailing wire. Make sure...
I don't know where you are but there is a guy on the Dallas, TX CL that has a VF700F for sale with all plastics and a blown motor. He wants 1K bur...
Sounds like you just need a good battery.
Get a battery then trouble shoot the staring system. It probably needs a starter relay more than a starter but there are several things that could...
The most interesting thing I find, about my VFR cooling system, is it acts like an air cooled bike. In normal liquid cooled applications the...
I may have missed something but does this 1984 VF750F run and move forward? I get a little uneasy when a first time rider picks up geriatric bike...
Welcome and welcome back to your own VFR. Sometimes we get busy with life and forget the important things. Looking forward to seeing some of your...
So, have you removed or disabled your OEM mechanical pump or do you run the two in tandem? How did you mount it? Any pictures?
I'll add my two cents to this older thread. I changed out my coolant to Engine Ice. Temperatures today were right at 100 degrees. Riding a steady...
Separate names with a comma.
