If anyone wants BRIGHT amber LEDs, I can personally recommend these:...
Certainly sounds like you've checked the right things, so you know your alternator is working, and the RR output is in the correct range. If those...
Pliskin I think you're sort of right, but maybe the problem is just isolated to the fuse area? My thinking was that if the fuse blade or connector...
Gary, the first thing I would do now is check the voltage across the battery terminals with the bike running, once the revs are up you should be...
That is one fine collection Captain! I have probably owned most of those Arais too, but most of the old ones live in a landfill now. Here's what I...
I went for a 300km ride enjoying my last free summer holiday day. Everything was great except I noticed the voltage reading was down to 13.3 at...
Certainly sounds like it wasn't charging before it stopped dead, so I would vote (in descending order) for the stator connector plug melting, or...
A little bit of oil residue in the airbox is perfectly normal; you will get a bit of oil mist making its way out of the crankcases when the engine...

One cause for rich running would be a faulty fuel pressure regulator or a perforated vacuum hose leading to the regulator. If you pull the small...
Is it getting cold and boring in Ottawa? Get out and skate the Rideau Canal for me!
From what I've seen, the splined gearbox shaft should have a dot punched into the end, the stock position for the shift arm would have that dot...
Thanks for posting your resolution to this one Todd. Another one to file away in the "just in case..." memory.
I believe stator failures arise from a burned wire so I doubt you'd get an intermittent fault from that, it will either work on all three phases...
Surya here's a link to Partzilla showing the other Honda's that use the same seal as the VFR....
I have a 1997 VTR1000F that was made for the Japanese market and had a 180km/hr speedo and was restricted to that. The restrictor was purely...
I'm not sure about an 85 model, but all recent Hondas I've seen have a thin wire circlip set in a groove in the top of the fork tube that will...
I agree, the mileage is unimportant. You need to ask yourself what sort of riding will I do on the bike? Touring miles? Canyon riding? IIRC the...
Yes you're right about the camera position, it was just suction cupped on the tank ahead of the filler. Another cm would have been great. I did...
