I know it is never a good idea to draw conclusions around the frequency of faults and failures based on internet forums, but the wax unit fault...
That model of VFR is a surplus stock US-spec bike, imported and sold cheap (NZ$8600 IIRC) by Blue Wing Honda in 87 and 88, I know, I owned two of...
Fast blinking means you have connected the 5W running light filaments rather than the 21W blinkers to the bike's blinker circuit. The blink rate...
Maybe you've pushed a bit of crud back into the relief port in the master cylinder so the piston moves out but won't retract? Probably best to...
Yeah what he says. You will need to feel around with your screw driver and find the back of the adjusting screws. The left hole does vertical, the...
Nice rescue project! I do like the look of the 1990 VFR. Good luck with it.
There is another common ground junction where 10 green wires get joined together, I know it is orange and on the rear subframe on the 5th gen, but...
Well the good news is you can rule out valve clearance or cam timing as a cause of the issue. I did much the same thing with my ST1100, because...
I have heard (but have no personal experience of) that carb gaskets tend to shrink when there's no fuel around, and magically swell back up and...
Man, I thought you Canadians were made of stronger stuff than that Jeff. I have all my service manuals in pdf form so I can read them whilst...
Took me a while to figure out what NVM meant (cause I'm neither hip, nor down with the kids). Looked it up here:...
Sorry, dumb 5th gen owner's question, but which valves are the VTEC ones? I looked very quickly at the manual and VTEC valves are I think the...
So you put it on the garage floor???
The 5th gen wiring diagram shows a switch for the headlights in the starter switch housing, looks to my untrained eye that when the engine start...
You might have a problem with the headlight relay, there's useful stuff in the service manual to help you through this. Here's a couple of...
The wax unit sits under the throttle bodies so you'll have some fun extracting it for the clean. [IMG]
I just downloaded the service manual from here: http://db.tt/9uk4iB3G Page 13-13 refers to refilling the shock with ATF so the answer has to be yes.
Good on you for sticking with this one. Regarding the voltages, the stator sounds like it is pumping out a reasonable voltage, but what you are...
Might be the flapper valve on the airbox opening and closing. From memory the flapper closes under 5500rpm, but stays open in gear with the clutch...
Not so mysterious; when you squeeze the lever it displaces some fluid back out of the tiny return port. Without that shield you can eject it clear...
Separate names with a comma.
